  1. If these terms are in AP then,
    a₂ – a₁ = a₃ – a₂ = ………….
    a₂ =13
    a₁ = 2p + 1
    a₃ = 5p – 3
    ⇒ 13 – (2p + 1) = (5p – 3) – 13
    ⇒ 13 – 2p – 1 = 5p – 3 – 13
    ⇒ – 2p – 5p = – 3 – 13 – 13 + 1
    ⇒ – 7p = – 29 + 1
    ⇒ – 7p = -28
    ⇒ 7p = 28
    ⇒ p = 28/7
    ⇒ p = 4
    So, for the value of p = 4, these three consecutive terms are in AP
