A series is given with one term missing. Choose the correct alternative that will complete the series. 2, 1, $\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)$, $\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)$, ?

Question

Accepted Answer

D - $\frac{1}{8}$. Each term is half the previous one: 2, 1, $\frac{1}{2}$, $\frac{1}{4}$. So the next term is $\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{8}$; $\frac{1}{5}$ would need the denominators to rise by one, which they do not.

Answer

A - $\frac{2}{6}$

Answer

B - $\frac{1}{5}$

Answer

C - $\frac{1}{4}$
