Find the common difference of the A.P. and write the next two terms :$119, 136, 153, 170, ………..$

Given:

Given A.P. is $119, 136, 153, 170, ………..$

To do:

We have to find the common difference and write the next two terms of the given A.P.

Solution: 

 The common difference of an A.P. is the difference between any two consecutive terms.

Here,

$a_1=119, a_2=136, a_3=153, a_4=170$

$d=a_2-a_1=136-119=17$

$a_5=a_4+d=170+17=187$

$a_6=a_5+d=187+17=204$

The common difference of the given A.P. is $17$ and the next two terms are $187$ and $204$.
