The correct Answer is:
To determine whether the sequence \(5, 10, 15, 20, \ldots\) is an Arithmetic Progression (A.P.), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the terms of the sequence The given sequence is: - First term (\(a_1\)) = 5 - Second term (\(a_2\)) = 10 - Third term (\(a_3\)) = 15 - Fourth term (\(a_4\)) = 20 ### Step 2: Calculate the differences between consecutive terms To check if the sequence is an A.P., we need to find the difference between consecutive terms: - Difference between the second and first term: \[ a_2 - a_1 = 10 - 5 = 5 \] - Difference between the third and second term: \[ a_3 - a_2 = 15 - 10 = 5 \] - Difference between the fourth and third term: \[ a_4 - a_3 = 20 - 15 = 5 \] ### Step 3: Compare the differences Now, we compare the differences we calculated: - \(a_2 - a_1 = 5\) - \(a_3 - a_2 = 5\) - \(a_4 - a_3 = 5\) All differences are equal to 5. ### Step 4: Conclusion Since the difference between each pair of consecutive terms is the same (5), we conclude that the sequence \(5, 10, 15, 20, \ldots\) is indeed an Arithmetic Progression (A.P.). ### Final Answer Yes, the sequence \(5, 10, 15, 20, \ldots\) is an A.P. ---
