SSC CPO - 05 Oct 2023 - Shift 2 • Reasoning • Q157

Which of the following numbers will replace the question mark (?) in the given series?

18, 6, 2, ?, 29\frac{2}{9}

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 23\frac{2}{3}.

Given series:  18, 6, 2, ?, 29\frac{2}{9}

The series follows this pattern:

18 ÷ 3 = 6

6 ÷ 3 = 2

2 ÷ 3 = 2/3

2/3 ÷ 3 = 2/9

So, the missing term in the series is  23\frac{2}{3}.

 Hence. the correct answer is 23\frac{2}{3}.
