The correct Answer is:
To find the value of \( p \) such that \( \frac{4}{5}, p, 2 \) are three consecutive terms of an Arithmetic Progression (A.P.), we can use the property of A.P. that states the middle term is the average of the other two terms. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the terms**: We have three terms in A.P.: - First term \( a = \frac{4}{5} \) - Second term \( b = p \) - Third term \( c = 2 \) 2. **Use the A.P. property**: For three terms \( a, b, c \) to be in A.P., the following relationship must hold: \[ b = \frac{a + c}{2} \] Substituting the values of \( a \) and \( c \): \[ p = \frac{\frac{4}{5} + 2}{2} \] 3. **Convert 2 to a fraction**: To add \( \frac{4}{5} \) and \( 2 \), we convert \( 2 \) into a fraction: \[ 2 = \frac{10}{5} \] 4. **Add the fractions**: Now we can add the fractions: \[ \frac{4}{5} + \frac{10}{5} = \frac{4 + 10}{5} = \frac{14}{5} \] 5. **Divide by 2**: Now, we need to divide \( \frac{14}{5} \) by \( 2 \): \[ p = \frac{\frac{14}{5}}{2} = \frac{14}{5} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{14}{10} = \frac{7}{5} \] 6. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the value of \( p \) is: \[ p = \frac{7}{5} \] ### Final Answer: The value of \( p \) is \( \frac{7}{5} \). ---
