(N/A) Here,$a_{1}=0, a_{2}=\frac{1}{4}, a_{3}=\frac{1}{2}$ and $a_{4}=\frac{3}{4}$.
Calculate the common difference $d$:
$a_{2}-a_{1} = \frac{1}{4} - 0 = \frac{1}{4}$
$a_{3}-a_{2} = \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{4}$
$a_{4}-a_{3} = \frac{3}{4} - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{4}$
Since the difference between consecutive terms is constant $(d = \frac{1}{4})$,the given sequence forms an $AP$.
The next three terms are:
$a_{5} = a_{4} + d = \frac{3}{4} + \frac{1}{4} = 1$
$a_{6} = a_{5} + d = 1 + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{5}{4}$
$a_{7} = a_{6} + d = \frac{5}{4} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{6}{4} = \frac{3}{2}$

$-10, -6, -2, 2, \ldots$ are $APs$? If they form an $AP$,find the common difference $d$ and write three more terms.

Write the first four terms of the $AP,$ when the first term $a$ and the common difference $d$ are given as follows: $a = -1.25, d = -0.25.$

Two APs have the same common difference. The first term of one $AP$ is $2$ and that of the other is $7$. The difference between their $10^{\text{th}}$ terms is the same as the difference between their $21^{\text{st}}$ terms,which is the same as the difference between any two corresponding terms. Why?
