Let the terms be 

\\a-d,a,a+d\\\\\:then\:\:3a=33\\\\\:a=11\\\\\:(11-d)(11+d)d=1155\\\\\:(121-d^{2})a=1155\\\\\:121-d^{2}=105\\\\\\\:d^{2}=16\\\\\:d=\pm 14

\therefore term =7,11,15\:\:\:or\:\:\:15,11,7\\\\\:t_{11}=a+10d\\\\\:7+10\times4=47

or

\\t_{11}=15+10(-4)\\\\\:15+(-40)\\\\\:=-25

answer = 4
