the 3 no in a.P whom sum is 12 and product is 48
Answers
Answer:
Find the three numbers in A.P whose sum is 12 and product is 48.
Let the required numbers be (a - d), a and (a + d).
Let the required numbers be (a - d), a and (a + d). It is given that ;
Sum of numbers is 12
⇒ a - d + a + a + d = 12
⇒ 3a = 12
⇒ a =
⇒ a = 4
Also, the product of numbers is 48.
⇒ (a - d) * a * (a + d) = 48.
⇒ a (a² - d²) = 48
⇒ 4 (4² - d²) = 48
⇒ (16 - d²) =
⇒ 16 - d² = 12
⇒ d² = 16 - 12
⇒ d² = 4
⇒ d = ± √4
⇒ d = ± 2
Thus, a = 4 and d = ± 2.
The required numbers are;
(a - d) = (4 - 2) = 2
a = 4
(a + d) = 4 + 2 = 6
Or, the other possibility can be -
(a - d) = 4 + 2 = 6
a = 4
(a + d) = 4 - 2 = 2
The required numbers in an AP are (2, 4, 6) or (6, 4, 2).

→ Thus, a = 4 and d = ± 2.
→ The required numbers are :
→ (a - d) = (4 - 2) = 2

→ (a - d) = 4 + 2 = 6
→ a = 4
→ (a + d) = 4 - 2 = 2
