In an AP, the common difference d between 2, 5, 8, 11,... is:

Answer: 3.

  • A 2
  • B 3
  • C 4
  • D 5

Correct answer: B. 3

Explanation: Common difference d = 5-2 = 3 (each term exceeds the previous by 3).

Each bar grows by the common difference d=3a1=2a2=5a3=8a4=11d=3

Bar heights for AP 2, 5, 8, 11 with the common difference d=3 marked between consecutive terms.
