Solution
The correct option is C306 It is given that a1,a2,a3,.......,an are in A.P and we know that:
The general form of an Arithmetic Progression is a,a+d,a+2d,a+3d and so on. Thus nth term of an A.P series is an=a1+(n−1)d, where an=nth term and a= first term. Here d= common difference = an−an−1.
