उत्तर

In an A.P., 17th term is 7 more than its 10th term.  ...(Given)

The formula for nth term of an A.P. is tn = a + (n − 1)d

The 10th term can be written as,

t10 = a + (10 − 1)d 

t10 = a + 9d

The 17th term can be written as,

t17 = a + (17 − 1)d 

t17 = a + 16d 

Now, according to the question,

t17 = 7 + t10

Substituting the value of t17 and t10 in the above equation,

∴ a + 16d = 7 + a + 9d

∴ 16d = 7 + 9d

∴ 16d − 9d = 7

∴ 7d = 7

∴ d = `7/7` = 1

Hence, the common difference of the given AP is 1.
