What is the common difference of the AP 81, 72, 63, 54, ...?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: −9

The governing concept is the common difference of an arithmetic progression, defined as the difference between any term and the immediately preceding term. Subtract the first term from the second: d = 72 − 81 = −9. Checking the next pairs gives 63 − 72 = −9 and 54 − 63 = −9, confirming that the sequence is an AP with d = −9. Therefore option B is correct. The negative sign is essential because the terms decrease as the sequence advances. Option A gives the magnitude but loses the direction, option C doubles the actual change, and option D is merely a term of the sequence rather than a difference. Thus the constant signed difference is −9.
