Answer:

The answer is b.Look below for details.

Explanation:

Question no 1. The sequence has the common difference of 14.

t1=7

t2=21

t3=35

We have

tn=a+(n-1)d

=7+(n-1)14

=7+14n-14

=14n-7(Its not our answer)

Lets try b.

The common difference is 2 in this sequence.

t1=7

t2=9

t3=11

t4=13

We have

tn=7+(n-1)2

=7+2n-2

=2n+5(Its is our answer.) Got it.
