Answer:
Let the terms in AP be (a - d), a, (a + d).
Sum of the three terms = a - d + a + a + d = 3a
3a = 33
a = 11
Also, from the given information, we have:
(a - d)(a + d) = a + 29
a2 - d2 = 11 + 29 = 40
121 - d2 = 40
d2 = 81
d = 9
Thus, the AP is
2, 11, 20, … or 20, 11, 2, …

Answer:
Let a-d,a,a+d be the three terms in A.P
From First Condition:
a-d+a+a+d=33
3a=33
a=11-------(1)
From Second Condition
(a-d)(a+d)=a+29
a^2+ad-ad-d^2=11+29
a^2-d^2=40
121-d^2=40
d^2=121-40
d^2=81
d=+-9
For a=11,d=9
A.P is 2,11,20
For a=11,d=-9
A.P is 20,11,2
