Answer:
d = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
We know, { aₙ = a + ( n - 1 ) d }
∴ a₂₁ = a + ( 21 - 1 ) d = a + 20d
→ a₇ = a + ( 7 + 1 ) d = a + 6d
Given a₂₁ - a₇ = 84 ⇒ [1]
Substituting in [1]
→ a + 20d - ( a + 6d ) = 84
→ a + 20d - a - 6d = 84
→ 20d - 6d =84
→ 14d = 84
→ d = 84/14
→ d = 6
∴ common difference d = 6
