Assuming that no rabbit dies,
the number of pairs of rabbits at the start of the 1st month = 1
the number of pairs of rabbits at the start of the 2nd month = 1
the number of pairs of rabbits at the start of the 3rd month = 2
the number of pairs of rabbits at the start of the 4th month = 3
the number of pairs of rabbits at the start of the 5th month = 5
Therefore, the series is
1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8,…
Difference between 2nd and 1st term = 1 – 1 = 0
Difference between 3rd and 2nd term = 2 – 1 = 1
Since, the difference is not same.
Therefore, the number of pair of rabbits in successive months are 1,1,2,3,5,8,… and they don’t form an AP.
