Question

the common difference of the ap 1/p,1-p/p,1-2p/p.....is

Answer 1

Hi ,

It is given that ,

1/p , ( 1 - p )/p , ( 1 - 2p )/p .... is an A.P

Common difference = a2 - a1

d = [ ( 1 - p )/p ] - 1/p

= ( 1 - p - 1 )/p

= -p/p

= -1

Therefore ,

Common difference = d = -1

I hope this helps you.

Answer 2

Heya !!!



AP = 1/P , 1-P/P , 1-2P/P




Here,



First term ( T1) = 1/P


Second term (T2) = 1-P/P



And,


Third term (T3) = 1-2P/P




Common Difference (D) = T2-T1




=> 1-P/P - 1/P




=> 1-P-1/P




=> -P/P



=> -1.



Hence,



Common Difference is -1.
