The Solution.

The given sequence is


5,14,23

The common difference of the arithmetic sequence is given by the formula below:


\text{common difference(d)=T}_2-T_1=T_3-T_2

In this case,


T_1=5,T_2=14,T_3=23

Substituting these values in the formula above, we get


\begin{gathered} \text{common difference = 14-5=23-14}=9 \\ \text{common difference}=9 \end{gathered}

So,the correct answer is 9.
