Answer:
let the numbers be x-y,x,x+y
then x-y+x+x+y=27
3x=27
x=9
(x-y)(x)(x+y)=648
(xsquare-ysquare)(x)=648
(9square-ysquare)(9×9)=648

Answer:
Given: Sum of first three terms is 27
Let us assume the first three terms as
a – d, a, a + d [where a is the first term and d is the common difference]
So,
sum of first three terms is a – d + a + a + d
= 27 3a = 27 a = 9
It is given that the product of three terms is 648
So,
a³ – ad²= 648
Substituting the value of a = 9,
we get 9³– 9d²= 648
729 – 9d² = 648
81 = 9d²
d = 3 or d = – 3
Hence, the given terms are a – d, a, a + d which is 6, 9, 12.
