Answer:

it should be 2nd option, 3rd, and 5th.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given options

options I, III and IV  are Arithmetic sequences.

Given :

we are given with sequences. we need to check which one is arithmetic sequence.

A sequence is arithmetic when the consecutive terms have common difference.

Lets check one by one

[tex]-8.6, -5.0, -1.4, 2.2, 5.8,......\\-5-(-8.6)=3.6\\-1.4-(-5)=3.6\\2.2+1.4=3.6\\[/tex]

Its arithmetic because common difference is same 3.6

2, –2.2, 2.42, –2.662, 2.9282, …

-2.2-2=-4.2

2.42+2.2=6.62

Its not arithmetic

5, 1, –3, –7, –11, …

1-5=-4

-3-1=-4

-7+3=-4

-11+7=-3

Common difference is -4. So it Arithmetic

–3, 3, 9, 15, 21, …

3+3=6

9-3=6

15-9=6

Its Arithmetic

–6.2, –3.1, –1.55, –0.775, –0.3875, …

-3.1+6.2=3.1

-1.55+3.1=1.55

Its not Arithmetic

So, options I, III and IV  are Arithmetic sequences.
