The correct Answer is:
To determine if the sequence \(2, \frac{5}{2}, 3, \frac{7}{2}\) is an Arithmetic Progression (A.P.), we need to check if the difference between consecutive terms is constant. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Terms**: - Let \(A_1 = 2\) - Let \(A_2 = \frac{5}{2}\) - Let \(A_3 = 3\) - Let \(A_4 = \frac{7}{2}\) 2. **Calculate the Differences**: - **First Difference**: \[ A_2 - A_1 = \frac{5}{2} - 2 = \frac{5}{2} - \frac{4}{2} = \frac{1}{2} \] - **Second Difference**: \[ A_3 - A_2 = 3 - \frac{5}{2} = \frac{6}{2} - \frac{5}{2} = \frac{1}{2} \] - **Third Difference**: \[ A_4 - A_3 = \frac{7}{2} - 3 = \frac{7}{2} - \frac{6}{2} = \frac{1}{2} \] 3. **Check for Constant Difference**: - We found: \[ A_2 - A_1 = \frac{1}{2}, \quad A_3 - A_2 = \frac{1}{2}, \quad A_4 - A_3 = \frac{1}{2} \] - Since all differences are equal, the sequence is indeed an A.P. 4. **Find the Common Difference**: - The common difference \(D\) is: \[ D = \frac{1}{2} \] ### Conclusion: The sequence \(2, \frac{5}{2}, 3, \frac{7}{2}\) is an Arithmetic Progression, and the common difference is \(\frac{1}{2}\).
