Previous Year Question (PYQs)
Video solution of this question given below
Let the three terms in A.P. be a – d, a, a + d.
given that a – d + a + a + d = 21
a = 7
then the three term in A.P. are 7 – d, 7, 7 + d
According to given condition 9 – d, 9, 21 + d are in G.P.
(9)2 = (9 – d) (21 + d)
81 = 189 + 9d – 21d – d2
81 = 189 – 12d – d2
d2 + 12d – 108 = 0
d(d + 18) – 6 (d + 18) = 0
(d – 6) (d + 18) = 0
We get, d = 6, –18
Putting d = 6 in the term 7 – d, 7, 7 + d we get 1, 7, 13.
