The correct Answer is:
To determine whether the given sequence \(0.2, 0.22, 0.222, 0.2222, \ldots\) 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 of the sequence**: - The first term \(a_1 = 0.2\) - The second term \(a_2 = 0.22\) - The third term \(a_3 = 0.222\) - The fourth term \(a_4 = 0.2222\) 2. **Calculate the difference between the first two terms**: \[ d_1 = a_2 - a_1 = 0.22 - 0.2 = 0.02 \] 3. **Calculate the difference between the second and third terms**: \[ d_2 = a_3 - a_2 = 0.222 - 0.22 = 0.002 \] 4. **Calculate the difference between the third and fourth terms**: \[ d_3 = a_4 - a_3 = 0.2222 - 0.222 = 0.0002 \] 5. **Compare the differences**: - \(d_1 = 0.02\) - \(d_2 = 0.002\) - \(d_3 = 0.0002\) Since \(d_1\), \(d_2\), and \(d_3\) are not equal, the differences are not constant. 6. **Conclusion**: Since the differences between consecutive terms are not equal, the sequence does not form an Arithmetic Progression (A.P.). Therefore, we cannot find a common difference, nor can we write three more terms in the sequence.
