What is the common difference between consecutive terms in the following arithmetic sequence? 51, 47, 43, 39, a) 3 b)-4 c)-3 d)4

B)-4

Step-by-step explanation:

In Arithmetic sequence , the common difference is the difference between any two successive terms. It is equal throughout the sequence.

Given arithmetic sequence : 51, 47, 43, 39, ...

Here , First term = 51

Second term = 47

Then the common difference =  Second term - First term

i.e. Common difference = 47-51 =-(51-47)=-4

Hence, the common difference between consecutive terms in the following arithmetic sequence= -4

Thus , the correct answer is option B)-4 .
