From the question it is given that,
The sum of three numbers in A.P. =
The product of three numbers in A.P. =
Let us assume the 3 numbers which are in A.P. are, a – d, a, a + d
Now adding 3 numbers = a – d + a + a + d =
So,
Therefore, the numbers are if
If d = – 6
The numbers are
Therefore, the numbers
are in A.P.
