Expert Answer
let 4 terms of A.P. are (a-d), a, (a+d), (a+2d)
sum of second and third terms = 2a+d = 18 or a = 9-(d/2) ........(1)
product of first and fourth terms are (a-d)(a+2d) = 45 .............(2)
let us substitute value of a from eqn.(1) in eqn (2) , [ 9 -(3/2)d ] [ 9 + (3/2)d ] = 81 - (9/4)d2 = 45 or d2 = 16 or d = 4
Let us substitute d value in eqn.(1) to get value of a. we get a = 7
4 terms of A.P. are 3, 7, 11, 15
