7, 19, 31, 43, ...
To determine the common difference of an Arithmetic Progression (A.P.) series, we use the formula for the common difference \(d\) of an A.P., which is given by subtracting the first term from the second term, i.e., \(d = a_2 - a_1\).
Given the series: 7, 19, 31, 43, ...
- The first term (\(a_1\)) is 7.
- The second term (\(a_2\)) is 19.
Now, calculate the common difference \(d\):
Using the formula\(d = a_2 - a_1\), we substitute the known values:
\(d = 19 - 7\)
This simplifies to:
\(d = 12\)
Therefore, the common difference of the given A.P. series is 12.
Looking at the options provided:
- Option 1: 19
- Option 2: 5
- Option 3: 12 (Correct Option)
- Option 4: 7
The correct answer, as calculated, is indeed 12. Thus, Option 3 is correct.
This common difference confirms that each term in the sequence after the first is obtained by adding 12 to the previous term, verifying the series is indeed an Arithmetic Progression.
