Given, a1 + a2 + a3 = 33 ..........(i)

and  a1 x a2 x a3 = 1155 ..........(ii)

Since a1, a2, a3 are in AP, therefore, a1 + a3 = 2a2 ..........(iii)

Substituting the value of a1 + a3 in eq. (i), we get 2a2 + a2= 33

=>  a2= 11

Putting the value of a2 in eq. (i), we get,

a1 + a3 = 22

 =>   a1 = (22 -  a3) .........(iv)

Putting the value of a2 in eq. (ii), we get, a1 x a3 = 105   .........(v)

Substituting the value of a1 in eq. (v), we get, (22 - a3) x a3 = 105

=> a32 - 22a3 + 105 = 0

=>  a32 - 15a- 7a3 +105 = 0 

=>  a3(a3 - 15) - 7(a3 - 15) = 0

=>  a3 - 15 = 0 and  a3 - 7 = 0

=>  a3 = 15 and a3 = 7 

Putting these values in eq.(ii) we get, a1 = 7 and a1 = 15

Therefore, the required three positive integers are 7, 11 and 15.
