      Given:

      Divya deposited Rs 1000 at compound interest of 10% p.a

      So, the amount at the end of first year is = 1000 + 0.1(1000) = Rs 1100

      And, the amount at the end of second year is = 1100 + 0.1(1100) = Rs 1210

      And, the amount at the end of third year is = 1210 + 0.1(1210) = Rs 1331

      Here, a2 – a1 = 1210 – 1100 = 110

      a3 – a2 = 1331 – 1210 = 121

      Since, the successive difference of list is not same

      ∴ The given sequence is not in A.P
