1402,1335,?,1201,1134\frac{1}{402},\frac{1}{335},?,\frac{1}{201},\frac{1}{134}

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 1/268.

 1402,1335,?,1201,1134\frac{1}{402},\frac{1}{335},?,\frac{1}{201},\frac{1}{134}

The logic followed here is:

The numerator (1) is the same in the series.

Subtraction of denominator from 1st fraction to 2nd fraction.

402 - 335 = 67

335 - 268 = 67

268 - 201 = 67

201 - 134 = 67

Hence, the correct answer is 1/268.
