(B) Let the three numbers in $A.P.$ be $(a - d)$,$a$,and $(a + d)$.According to the problem,the sum of the numbers is $18$:$(a - d) + a + (a + d) = 18$$3a = 18$$a = 6$The sum of their squares is $158$:$(a - d)^2 + a^2 + (a + d)^2 = 158$$(6 - d)^2 + 6^2 + (6 + d)^2 = 158$$(36 - 12d + d^2) + 36 + (36 + 12d + d^2) = 158$$108 + 2d^2 = 158$$2d^2 = 50$$d^2 = 25$$d = \pm 5$If $d = 5$,the numbers are $(6 - 5), 6, (6 + 5)$,which are $1, 6, 11$.If $d = -5$,the numbers are $(6 - (-5)), 6, (6 + (-5))$,which are $11, 6, 1$.In both cases,the greatest number is $11$.

Three numbers are in $A.P.$ such that their sum is $18$ and the sum of their squares is $158$. The greatest number among them is
