Let, three numbers are (a-d), a, (a+d) So, (a-d)+a+(a+d)=21 => a=7 Again, (7-d)×7×(7+d)=231 => (7-d)×(7+d)=231÷7 => 7^2 - d^2 = 33=> d^2 = 49 - 33=> d^2 = 16=> d = 4 So, the numbers are 7-4= 3, 7 and 7+4=11

Three numbers are a_d, a, a+d a_d+a+a+d=21 3a=21 a=21/3 a=7 Product =231 a_d*a*a+d=231 7_d*7*7+d=231 7_d*7+d=231/7 (7-d)(7+d)=33 49-d square =33 d Square =33-49 d^2=16 d=4 So number are 7_4,7,,7+4 3,7,11

Let three no.in A.p.be a-d,a,a+d a-d+a+a+d=21 3a=21 a=7 (a-d)a(a+d)=231 Put a=7 (7-d)7(7+d)=231 (49_d2)=231 (49-d2)=231/7 49-d2=33 d2=16 d=4 or d=-4 Three no. are 7-4,7.7+4 3, 7, 11 or 11, 7, 3.
