Answer 2

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.
