Question : Directions: Which of the following numbers will replace the question mark (?) in the given series?
$\frac{-1}{729},\frac{-1}{81},\frac{-1}{9},?$
Option 1: 1
Option 2: –1
Option 3: $\frac{-1}{3}$
Option 4: $\frac{1}{3}$
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.
