उत्तर
\[\text { We have: } \]
\[1/4 - ( - 1) = 5/4\]
\[3/2 - 1/4 = 5/4\]
\[11/4 - 3/2 = 5/4\]
\[\text { Thus, the sequence is an A . P . with the common difference being } (5/4) . \]
\[\text { The next three terms are as follows }: \]
\[11/4 + 5/4 = 16/4 = 4\]
\[16/4 + 5/4 = 21/4\]
\[21/4 + 5/4 = 26/4\]
