A. 6, 12, 18, 24, ...

B. 0, –2, –4, –6, ...

C. 4, 8, 12, 16, ...

D. 23, 20, 16, ...

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

A progression is arithmetic when consecutive differences are equal. A has d=6d = 6, B has d=−2d = -2 and C has d=4d = 4. In D the differences are −3-3 and −4-4, which are unequal, so it is not an AP. Hence A, B and C.
