Question

A fruit seller was fond of mathematics. He always kept his stock fruits in AP. One day he had 2 apples, 4 bananas, and 6 mangoes. A thief took 2 from each of the fruits. Are the number of fruits of each type in an AP?

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True

2, 4, 6 are in AP. Now by the property that, if we add or subtract each term of an AP by a constant number then the resulting sequence is also an AP.
So he is left with 0 apple, 2 bananas, and 4 mangoes, which are in AP.
