  1. Let the volume of air in a cylinder, initially, be V litres.

    In each stroke, the vacuum pump removes 1/4th of air remaining in the cylinder at a time. Or we can say, after every stroke, 1-1/4 = 3/4th part of air will remain.

    Therefore, volumes will be V, 3V/4 , (3V/4)2 , (3V/4)3…and so on

    Clearly, we can see here, the adjacent terms of this series do not have the common difference between them. Therefore, this series is not an A.P.
