Correct Answer: Option B

Explanation

U₇ = a + (7 - 1)d
= a + 6d
U₃ = a + (3 - 1)d
= a + 2d
But U₇ = 2(U₃)
∴a + 6d = 2(a + 2d)
a + 6d = 2a + 4d
2a - a + 4d - 6d = 0
a - 2d = 0 → eqn1
Sn = ⁿ/₂ (2a + (n - 1)d)
42 = ⁴/₂ (2a + (4 - 1)d)
42 = 2(2a + 3d)
21 = 2a + 3d → eqn2
eqn1 * eqn2 0 = 2a - 4d
21 = 7d
∴d = ²¹/₇
d = 3
