Question

Is the following sequences are A.P.? If is A.P. find the common difference.

0.3, 0.33, 0.333,...

Answer 1

0.3, 0.33, 0.333,...

Here,

The first term, a₁ = 0.3

Second term, a₂ = 0.33

Third term, a₃ = 0.333

Now,

Common difference = a₂ - a₁ = 0.33 - 0.3 = 0.03

Also, a₃ - a₂ = 0.333 - 0.33 = 0.003

Since the common difference is not the same.

Hence, the terms are not in Arithmetic progression.
