Question -

Split 207 into three parts such that these are in A.P. and the product of the two smaller parts is 4623. [NCERT Exemplar]



Answer -

Let the three parts of the number 207 are (a – d), a and (a + d), which are in A.P.
Now, by given condition,
=> Sum of these parts = 207
=> a – d + a + a + d = 207
=> 3a = 207
a = 69
Given that, product of the two smaller parts = 4623
=> a (a – d) = 4623
=> 69 (69 – d) = 4623
=> 69 – d = 67
=> d = 69 – 67 = 2
So, first part = a – d = 69 – 2 = 67,
Second part = a = 69
and third part = a + d = 69 + 2 = 71
Hence, required three parts are 67, 69, 71.
