State whether the following sequence is an Arithmetic Progression or not:
3, 6, 12, 24,......

उत्तर

3, 6, 12, 24....

Let , 'a' be the first term of the given sequence and 'd' be the common difference.

Also, t2 , t3 , t4 be the 2nd ,3rd ,4th terms respectively.

Consider,

t2 - a = 6 - 3 = 3

t3 - t2 = 12 - 6 = 6

Here, we can see that difference between two successive terms is not constant. Hence, it is not an Arithmetic Progression
