Solution

Sure, let's solve this step by step.

Given that the sum of three numbers in A.P. is 27 and their product is 405.

Let's denote the three numbers as a-d, a, a+d. They are in A.P. and their sum is 27.

So, we have the equation:

(a-d) + a + (a+d) = 27 3a = 27 a = 27/3 a = 9

The product of the three numbers is 405, so we have the equation:

(a-d)a(a+d) = 405 (9-d)9(9+d) = 405 (81-d^2) = 405/9 81-d^2 = 45 d^2 = 81-45 d^2 = 36 d = sqrt(36) d = 6 or d = -6

So, the three numbers are 9-6=3, 9, 9+6=15 or 9+6=15, 9, 9-6=3.
