In an arithmetic progression, if the terms at two different positions are equal, i.e. \(a_p=a_q\) where \(p\ne q\), which conclusion is necessary?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The common difference is \(0\), so all terms are equal

Using \(a_p=a+(p-1)d\) and \(a_q=a+(q-1)d\) gives \((p-q)d=0\). Since \(p\ne q\), \(d=0\), so every term is equal. Exam tip: isolate the difference of indices first.
