Solution

The correct option is C 4
The second term of an AP is obtained by adding the common difference to the first term.
First term, a = 4
Common difference, d = -4
Second term (next term) = a + d = 4 + (-4) = 0
Third term (term after the next term) = a + 2d = 4+ 2(-4)
= 4 - 8 = -4.
$∴$ Term after the next term = -4.
