(A) Let the three numbers in $A.P.$ be $(a - d), a, (a + d)$.Given that the sum is $33$:$(a - d) + a + (a + d) = 33$$3a = 33$$a = 11$Given that the product is $792$:$(a - d) 	imes a 	imes (a + d) = 792$$a(a^2 - d^2) = 792$$11(11^2 - d^2) = 792$$121 - d^2 = 72$$d^2 = 121 - 72 = 49$$d = \pm 7$If $d = 7$,the numbers are $(11 - 7), 11, (11 + 7)$,which are $4, 11, 18$.If $d = -7$,the numbers are $(11 + 7), 11, (11 - 7)$,which are $18, 11, 4$.In both cases,the smallest number is $4$.

Three numbers are in $A.P.$ whose sum is $33$ and product is $792$. The smallest number among these is:
