Step-by-step explanation:
Sequence is
4
,
7
,
10
,
13
,
16
,
.
.
.
a
1
=
4
,
a
2
=
7
,
a
3
=
10
,
.

.
If it is Arithmetic sequence,
a
2
−
a
1
=
a
3
−
a
2
=
a
4
−
a
3
& so on
In the given sum,
a
2
−
a
1
=
7
−
4
=
3
a
3
−
a
2
=
10
−
7
=
3
a
4
−
a
3
=
13
−
10
=
3
Since the difference between the successive terms is same and
hence
common difference
d
=
3
