The list of number -10, -6, -2, 2, … isA. an AP with d = -16B. an AP with d = 4C. an AP with d = -4D. not an Ap

Answer» Correct Answer - B
The given numbers are `-10, -6, -2, 2, ….`
Here `a_(1)=-10, a_(2)= -6, a_(3)= -2` and `a_(4)=2, ….`
Since, `a_(2) - a_(1)= -6-(-10) = -6 +10=4`
`a_(3) - a_(2) = -2-(-6)= -2+6=4`
`a_(4) - a_(3)=2-(-2)=2+2=4`

Each successive term of given list has same difference i.e., 4.
So, the given list forms an AP with common difference, d = 4.
