Correct Answer: –1


Solution : Given:
$\frac{-1}{729},\frac{-1}{81},\frac{-1}{9},?$

Multiply the previous term by 9 to obtain the missing term.
$\frac{-1}{729}×9=\frac{-1}{81};\frac{-1}{81}×9=\frac{-1}{9};\frac{-1}{9}×9=-1$

So, –1 is the missing term in the given series. Hence, the second option is correct.
