Answer: The correct option is (c). 6.

Step-by-step explanation: we are given to find the common difference of the following arithmetic sequence:


4,~~10,~~16,~~22,~~.~~.~~.

In an Arithmetic sequence, the common difference is equal to the difference between two consecutive terms of the sequence.

In the given arithmetic sequence, we have


10-4=16-10=22-16=~~.~~.~~.~~=6.

So, the common difference of the given arithmetic sequence is 6.

Thus, (c) is the correct option.
