Answer :
As given that the angles are in A.P., we choose angles as
a-d , a , a + d a>0;d>0
Where d is the common difference of A.P.
We are also given that the least angle is half times the greatest.
So, 2 (a-d) = a + d
⇒ 2a – 2d = a + d
⇒ 2a – a =2d + d
⇒ a = 3d ………………..(1)
Now, we know that the sum of all the angles of a triangle is 180° .
(a-d) + a + (a + d)=180°
3a =180°
a=60°
Using equation 1, we get d = a/3 =60° /3 = 20°
∴ The angles of the triangle are
a – d = 60° – 20° = 40°
a = 60°
a + d = 60° + 20° = 80°
