Answered by admin @



AnswEr:

Let the three numbers in A.P. be a-d, a+d, where d>0. Clearly, a+d is the largest number and a-d is the smallest number.

It is given that :

 \sf \: Product \: of \: numbers = 224 \:  \:  \: and \:  \:  \:  \\  \sf \: The \: largest \: number = 7 \:  \: (the \: smallest \\  \sf \: number)

 \rightarrow \tt (a - d)a(a + d) = 224 \:  \: and \:  \:  \: \tt \: a + d = 7(a - d) \\  \\  \rightarrow \tt \: a( {a}^{2} +  {d}^{2}  ) = 224 \:  \: and \:  \: 6a = 8d \\  \\  \rightarrow \tt \: a( {a}^{2}  -  {d}^{2} ) = 224 \:  \: and \:  \: d =  \frac{3a}{4}  \\  \\  \rightarrow \tt \: a( {a}^{2}  -  \frac{9}{16}  \:  {a}^{2} ) = 224 \\  \\  \tt \rightarrow \frac{7 {a}^{3} }{16}  = 224 \\  \\  \rightarrow \tt \:  {a}^{3}  = 512 =  {8}^{3}  \\  \\  \rightarrow \tt \: a = 8 \\  \\  \rm \: Putting \: a = 8 \: in \: d =  \frac{3a}{4}  \:  \: we \: obtain \\   \rm \: d = 6

Hence, three numbers are 2,8,14.
