Yes it forms an Arithmetic progression..
It is so becoz as we cross each km the cost increase by Rs.8
for 1km it is 15
for 2 km it is 15+8=23
for 3 km it is 23+8=31
so as there is a common difference of Rs.8 it forms an AP

Answer:
We can write the given condition as;
Taxi fare for 1 km = 15
Taxi fare for first 2 kms = 15+8 = 23
Taxi fare for first 3 kms = 23+8 = 31
Taxi fare for first 4 kms = 31+8 = 39
And so on……
Thus, 15, 23, 31, 39 … forms an A.P. because every next term is 8 more than the preceding term.
