Suppose that the three terms of an AP are a-d,a.a+d 

Given that the sum of the three terms is 33

a-d+a+a+d=333a=33a=11

Given that the product of three terms is 1155

it implies that 

a-daa+d=aa2-d2 =11121-d2

It implies 

 11121-d2=1155121-d2=105d2=121-105 =16d=4

Hence, the first term of the sequence is a-d=11-4=7

and the common difference is d=±4

Therefore, 11th term of the sequence is 

a11=a+10d =7+104 =7+40 =47 or 

if the value of d is -4, then a-d=11+4=15

Therefore, 11th term is 

     a11=a+10d =15+10-4 =15-40 =-25
