The correct answer is: Arithmetic Progression

an+2+an-2an+1=

0π21-cos2n+2x1-cos2xdx+0π21-cos2nx1-cos2xdx-20π21-cos2n+1x1-cos2xdx
=0π/21-cos2n+4x+1-cos2nx-2+2cos2n+2x1-cos2xdx
=0π22cos2n+2x-cos2n+4x+cos2nx1-cos2xdx
=0π22cos2n+2x-2cos2n+2xcos2x1-cos2xdx
=0π/22cos2n+2x1-cos2x1-cos2xdx
=2sin2n+2x2n+10π2=1n+1sinn+1π-sin0=0
an+2+an=2an+1
They are in A.P.
