Arithmetic Progressions

Question
CBSEENMA10007442
Wired Faculty App

Which of the following are APs? If they form an AP, find the common difference d and write three more terms.
0.2, 0.22, 0.222, 0.2222, . . .

Solution

0.2, 0.22, 0.222, 0.2222, ......
a2 – a1 = 0.22 – 0.2 = 0.02
a3 – a2 = 0.222 – 0.22 = 0.002
As a2 – a4 ≠ a3 – a2
the given list of numbers does not form an A.P.
