Heya,
According to the question,
First term of A.P. (a) = a
Last term of A.P. (An) = b
No. of term in A.P. = n + 2
d = ?
We will apply the formula;
An = a + (n - 1)d
putting the values, we get;
b = a + (n+2-1)d
b - a = (n +1)d
d = (b - a)/(n + 1)
So, common difference (d) = (b - a)/(n - 1)
Hope this helps....:)
