Question

Which of the following sequences are A.P.? If they are A.P. find the common difference.

2, `5/2, 3, 7/2,......`
Sum

Solution

The terms are given :
2, `5/2, 3, 7/2,......`

t2 − t1 = `5/2 - 2 = (5 - 4)/2 = 1/2`

t3 − t2 = `3 - 5/2 = (6 - 5)/2 = 1/2`

t4 − t3 = `7/2 - 3 = (7 - 6)/2 = 1/2`

∵ The difference between consecutive terms are constant.

∴ Given sequence is an A.P.

Common difference (d) = `1/2`
