Question

Taxi fare aftere each Km when the fare is 15Rs for the first km and 8m for each additional fare . Is this an arithmetic progression ?if so what is the value of a and d ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

No, because the total fare (in ?) after each km is 15,(15+ 8), (15 + 2 x 8), (15+ 3 x 8),…= 15,23, 31, 39,…

Let t1 = 15,t2 = 23,t3 = 31 and t4 = 39

Now, t2 - t1 = 23 - 15 = 8

t3 - t2 = 31 - 23 = 8

t4 - t3 = 39 - 31 = 8

Since, all the successive terms of the given list have same difference i.e., common difference = 8

Hence, the total fare after each km form an AP.
