A N S W E R :
Let's consider that three term of AP be a, (a + d), (a – d) respectively.
By CONDITION :
❭❭ Sum of three terms of AP is 15.
⇥a + a + d + a – d = 15
⇥ 3a = 15
⇥ a = 15/3
⇥ a = 5⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ —eq.( I )
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀
❭❭ Product of three terms of AP is 105.
⠀⠀⠀
➟ a × (a + d) × (a – d) = 105
➟ a(a² – d²) = 105
➟ 5(5² – d²) = 105⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀[From eq. ( I )]
➟ 25 – d² = 105/5
➟ 25 – d² = 21
➟ – d² = 21 – 25
➟ – d² = – 4
➟ d = √4
➟ d = ±2
⠀⠀⠀
Therefore,
⠀⠀⠀
- First term, a = 5.
- Second term, (a + d) = (5 + 2) = 7.
- Third term, (a – d) = (5 – 2) = 3.
⠀⠀⠀
∴ Hence, the required three terms are 5, 7 and 3 respectively
