Let the three numbers in A.P. be {tex}a - d, a, a + d{/tex}.
{tex}3a = 12 {/tex}or, {tex}a = 4{/tex}.
Also, (4 - d)3 + 43 + (4 + d)3 = 288
or, 64 - 48d + 12d2- d3 + 64 + 64 + 48d + 12d2 + d3 = 288
or, 24d2 + 192 = 288
or, 24d2 = 288 - 192
or, 24d2 = 96
or, d2 = 96/24
or, d2 = 4
d ={tex}\pm{/tex}2
The numbers are 2,4, 6, or 6,4,2.
