Find the common difference of the A.P. and write the next two terms:
(i) 51, 59, 67, 75, ..
(ii) 75, 67, 59, 51, ...
(iii) 1.8, 2.0, 2.2, 2.4, ...
(iv) $0, \frac{1}{4}, \frac{1}{2}, \frac{3}{4}, \ldots$
(v) 119, 136, 153, 170, ...
In this problem, we are given different A.P. and we need to find the common difference of the A.P., along with the next two terms.
(i) $51,59,67,75, \ldots$
Here,
$a_{1}=51$
$a_{2}=59$
So, common difference of the A.P. $(d)=a_{2}-a_{1}$
$=59-51$
$=8$
Also, we need to find the next two terms of A.P., which means we have to find the $5^{\text {th }}$ and $6^{\text {th }}$ term.
So, for fifth term,
$a_{5}=a_{1}+4 d$
$=51+4(8)$
$=51+32$
$=83$
Similarly, we find the sixth term,
$a_{6}=a_{1}+5 d$
$=51+5(8)$
$=51+40$
$=91$
Therefore, the common difference is $d=8$ and the next two terms of the A.P. are $a_{5}=83, a_{6}=91$.
(ii) $75,67,59,51 \ldots$
Here,
$a_{1}=75$
$a_{2}=67$
So, common difference of the A.P. $(d)=a_{2}-a_{1}$
$=67-75$
$=-8$
Also, we need to find the next two terms of A.P., which means we have to find the $5^{\text {th }}$ and $6^{\text {th }}$ term.
So, for fifth term,
$a_{5}=a_{1}+4 d$
$=75+4(-8)$
$=75-32$
$=43$
Similarly, we find the sixth term,
$a_{6}=a_{1}+5 d$
$=75+5(-8)$
$=75-40$
$=35$
Therefore, the common difference is $d=-8$ and the next two terms of the A.P. are $a_{5}=43, a_{6}=35$.
(iii) $1.8,2.0,2.2,2.4, \ldots$
Here,
$a_{1}=1.8$
$a_{2}=2.0$
So, common difference of the A.P. $(d)=a_{2}-a_{1}$
$=2.0-1.8$
$=0.2$
Also, we need to find the next two terms of A.P., which means we have to find the $5^{\text {th }}$ and $6^{\text {th }}$ term.
So, for fifth term,
$a_{5}=a_{1}+4 d$
$=1.8+4(0.2)$
$=1.8+0.8$
$=2.6$
Similarly, we find the sixth term,
$a_{6}=a_{1}+5 d$
$=1.8+5(0.2)$
$=1.8+1$
$=2.8$
Therefore, the common difference is $d=0.2$ and the next two terms of the A.P. are $a_{5}=2.6, a_{6}=2.8$.
(iv) $0, \frac{1}{4}, \frac{1}{2}, \frac{3}{4}, \ldots$
Here,
$a_{1}=0$
$a_{2}=\frac{1}{4}$
So, common difference of the A.P. $(d)=a_{2}-a_{1}$
$=\frac{1}{4}-0$
$=\frac{1}{4}$
Also, we need to find the next two terms of A.P., which means we have to find the $5^{\text {th }}$ and $6^{\text {th }}$ term.
So, for fifth term,
$a_{5}=a_{1}+4 d$
$=0+4\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)$
$=1$
Similarly, we find the sixth term,
$a_{6}=a_{1}+5 d$
$=0+5\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)$
$=\frac{5}{4}$
Therefore, the common difference is $d=\frac{1}{4}$ and the next two terms of the A.P. are $a_{5}=1, a_{6}=\frac{5}{4}$.
(v) $119,136,153,170, \ldots$
Here,
$a_{1}=119$
$a_{2}=136$
So, common difference of the A.P. $(d)=a_{2}-a_{1}$
$=136-119$
$=17$
Also, we need to find the next two terms of A.P., which means we have to find the $5^{\text {th }}$ and $6^{\text {th }}$ term.
So, for fifth term,
$a_{5}=a_{1}+4 d$
$=119+4(17)$
$=119+68$
$=187$
Similarly, we find the sixth term,
$a_{6}=a_{1}+5 d$
$=119+5(17)$
$=119+85$
$=204$
Therefore, the common difference is $d=17$ and the next two terms of the A.P. are $a_{5}=187, a_{6}=204$.
