Q6 of 176 Page 9

Which of the following list of numbers form A.R's? If they form an A.P., find the common difference d and also write its next three terms.

We have,


a2 – a1 = √12 - √3 = 2√3 - √3 = √3


a3 – a2 = √48 - √12 = 4√3 - 2√3 = 2√3


a4 – a3 = √192 - √48 = 8√3 - 4√3 = 4√3


i.e. ak+1 – ak is not same every time.


So, the given list of numbers do not form an AP.
