  • question_answer
    Which of the following sequence is an arithmetic sequence

    A) \[f(n)=an+b;\,n\in N\]

    B) \[f(n)=k{{r}^{n}};\,n\in N\]

    C) \[f(n)=(an+b)\,k{{r}^{n}};\,n\in N\]

    D) \[f(n)=\frac{1}{a\left( n+\frac{b}{n} \right)};\,n\in N\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Sequence \[f(n)=an+b;\ n\in N\] is an A.P. Putting \[n=1,\ 2,\ 3,\ 4,\ ..........,\]  we get the sequence \[(a+b),\ (2a+b),\ (3a+b),.........\] which  is  an  A.P. Where first term \[(A)=(a+b)\] and common difference \[d=a\]. Aliter: As we have mentioned in theory part that \[{{n}^{th}}\] term of an A.P. is of the form\[an+b,\ \ n\in N\].
