the answer is



let (a-d) ,a,a+d be the three terms in AP
according to the question

a-d+a+a+d= 24
3a=24
a=8


sum of the sq of these 3 terms
(a-d)^2+(a^2)+(a+d)^2=224


a^2+d^2-2ad+a^2+a^2+d^2+2ad=224

3a^2+2d^2=224________(1)
putting the value of a in eq 1 we get


d=plus or minus 4



thus the terms are 12,8,4 or 4,8,12
