Answer:
The three consecutive terms in A.P. is 1, 3 & 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the three consecutive terms in A.P. be
First term=(a-d)
Second term=a
Third term=(a+d)
But, Sum of the 3 consecutive terms is given = 9
⇒ (a-d) + a + (a+d) = 9
⇒ 3a – d + d = 9
⇒ 3a = 9
⇒ a = 9/3
a= 3
Also given, the product of their cubes = 3375
∴ (a-d)³ * a³ * (a+d)³ = 3375
⇒ (3-d)³ * 3³ * (3+d)³ = 3375 [∵ a = 3]
⇒ [(3-d) * (3+d)]³ = 3375 / 27
⇒ [(3-d) * (3+d)] = ∛125
⇒ 3² – d² = 5
⇒ d² = 9 – 5 = 4
⇒ d = 2
The three consecutive terms in A.P. are,
First term=a-d
= 3 – 2
= 1
Second term=a = 3
Third term=a+d
= 3+2
= 5
