Question
Statement 1:The numbers
cannot be the terms of a single A.P. with non-zero common difference
Statement 2:If
are terms (not necessarily consecutive) of an A.P., then there exists a rational number
such that 
- Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is True; Statement 2 is correct explanation for Statement 1
- Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is True; Statement 2 is not correct explanation for Statement 1
- Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is False
- Statement 1 is False, Statement 2 is True
The correct answer is: Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is True; Statement 2 is correct explanation for Statement 1
Let
be the
and
terms of an A.P. Then
and 
Hence,
and
, so that

Since,
are positive integers and
is a rational number. From (1), using
, we have

Hence,
cannot be the terms of an A.P.
