Solution:
The answer is (D). Since the sum of 4 consecutive terms is constant, for every n≥1 we have an+an+1+an+2+an+3=an+1+an+2+an+3+an+4, from which an=an+4, that is, the sequence is periodic and repeats after 4 terms.
Since a1<a2<a3 holds, the differences a2−a1 and a3−a2 are positive and, by hypothesis, equal to a constant d. Since a2=6, we can write a1=6−d, a3=6+d and we obtain a5=a1=6−d by periodicity; a4−a3=±d, so a4=6+2d or a4=6. In the first case we would have a4−a5=3d, absurd, so necessarily a4=6.
The sequence is therefore 6−d,6,6+d,6,6−d,6…6−d,6,6+d (since the terms are 2019, which gives remainder 3 when divided by 4). In each block of 4 and in the last block of 3 the elements 6−d and 6+d have sum 12=6⋅2 and hence the total sum is 2019⋅6=12114 independently of d.
