color(blue)(d=3d=3

Explanation:

The arithmetic sequence provided is :
2,5,8,112,5,8,11

There is a common difference maintained between any two consecutive numbers of an arithmetic sequence.

d = 5-2 =3d=52=3
d=8-5 = 3d=85=3
d= 11-8 =3d=118=3

So the common difference of this arithmetic progression is
color(blue)(d=3d=3
