FORMULA :

If the numbers a, b and c are in AP, then

b - a = c - b

=> 2b = a + c

SOLUTION :

The given three numbers (2p - 1), (3p + 1) and 11 are in AP.

Then,

2(3p + 1) = (2p - 1) + 11

=> 6p + 2 = 2p - 1 + 11

=> 6p + 2 = 2p + 10

=> 6p - 2p = 10 - 2

=> 4p = 8

=> p = 8/4

=> p = 2

So, the value of p is 2.

Then, the given numbers be

(2×2 - 1), (3×2 + 1) and 11

i.e., 3, 7 and 11.

So, we get an Arithmetic progression  3, 7, 11.
