Question

What is the common difference between successive terms in the sequence? 2, 8, 14, 20, 26, ...

a) -6
b) -4
c) 4
d) 6

Answer 1

The common difference between the successive terms in the sequence is 6. Hence, d) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The common difference between successive terms in the given sequence can be calculated by subtracting the previous term from the current term. Let's calculate the differences:

1. 8 - 2 = 6
2. 14 - 8 = 6
3. 20 - 14 = 6

As we can see, the common difference between successive terms in the sequence is 6. Therefore, the correct answer is d) 6.
