The correct Answer is:
To determine whether the sequence \( \sqrt{2}, \sqrt{3}, \sqrt{9}, \sqrt{12} \) forms an Arithmetic Progression (A.P.), we need to check if the differences between consecutive terms are equal. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Terms**: The given terms are: - First term \( a_1 = \sqrt{2} \) - Second term \( a_2 = \sqrt{3} \) - Third term \( a_3 = \sqrt{9} \) - Fourth term \( a_4 = \sqrt{12} \) 2. **Calculate the Differences**: - Find the difference between the second and first terms: \[ d_1 = a_2 - a_1 = \sqrt{3} - \sqrt{2} \] - Find the difference between the third and second terms: \[ d_2 = a_3 - a_2 = \sqrt{9} - \sqrt{3} = 3 - \sqrt{3} \] - Find the difference between the fourth and third terms: \[ d_3 = a_4 - a_3 = \sqrt{12} - \sqrt{9} = 2\sqrt{3} - 3 \] 3. **Compare the Differences**: - We need to check if \( d_1 = d_2 = d_3 \). - Since \( d_1 = \sqrt{3} - \sqrt{2} \), \( d_2 = 3 - \sqrt{3} \), and \( d_3 = 2\sqrt{3} - 3 \) are not equal, we conclude that the differences are not the same. 4. **Conclusion**: Since the differences between the consecutive terms are not equal, the sequence \( \sqrt{2}, \sqrt{3}, \sqrt{9}, \sqrt{12} \) does not form an Arithmetic Progression (A.P.). ### Final Answer: No, the sequence does not form an A.P. ---
