Let’s consider the three terms of the A.P. to be a – d, a, a + d
so, the sum of three terms = 21
⇒ a – d + a + a + d = 21
⇒ 3a = 21
⇒ a = 7
And, product of the first and 3rd = 2nd term + 6
⇒ (a – d) (a + d) = a + 6
a² – d² = a + 6
⇒ (7 )² – d² = 7 + 6
⇒ 49 – d² = 13
⇒ d² = 49 – 13 = 36
⇒ d² = (6)²
⇒ d = 6
Hence, the terms are 7 – 6, 7, 7 + 6 ⇒ 1, 7, 13
