The first two terms of an AP are (\lambda-4) and (3\lambda+2). What is the common difference?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: (2\lambda+6)
The common difference is second term minus first term, so (3\lambda+2-(\lambda-4)=2\lambda+6). In exams, handle the minus sign before brackets carefully.
