Under which condition does the \(n\)th term of an arithmetic progression remain independent of the value of \(n\)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(d=0\)

For an AP, \(a_n=a+(n-1)d\). If \(d=0\), then \(a_n=a\), so every term is constant. Setting only \(a=0\) does not make terms constant. Exam tip: the coefficient of \(n\) is \(d\).
