Answer» Answer: LET the roots of A.P .be (a-d) ,a,(a+d) Now the sum of 1ST three terms is 24 that means a-d+a+a+d=24 3a=24 a=8 we GOT the value of a=8 Now, squaring the terms (a-d) 2 +(a) 2+ (a-d) 2 =224 where 2 are square not in multiplication a2+d2-2ad+a2+a2+d2+2ad=224 3a 2 +2D 2 =224 3×8×8+2d2=224 2d2=224–192 2d2=32 d2=16 d=4 Therefore a-d,a,a+d are 8–4,8,8+4 4,8,12 ←This are the VALUES of 1st three 3terms |
