Correct Answer: $\frac{2}{3}$


Solution : Given:
$18,6,2, ?, \frac{2}{9}$

Multiply the previous term by $\frac{1}{3}$ to obtain the next term.
$18×\frac{1}{3}=6;6×\frac{1}{3}=2;2×\frac{1}{3}=\frac{2}{3};\frac{2}{3}×\frac{1}{3}=\frac{2}{9}$

So, $\frac{2}{3}$ is the missing term in the given series. Hence, the third option is correct.
