Assertion (A): Common difference of an AP whose nth term is given by aₙ = 4n – 70 is 4
Reason (R): d = aₙ – aₙ₋₁
(1)
Given nᵗʰ term of an AP is aₙ = 4n – 70
d = aₙ – aₙ₋₁ = (4n – 70) – 4(n – 1) + 70
= 4n – 70 – 4n + 4 + 70 = 4
Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
