Answer:

Answer: Option d. 0.2; 0.08,.016,.0032 is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

As per question the given sequence is 10,2,0.4.........

And we have to find the common ration of this sequence.

Common ratio r = A(2)/A(1)

                          = 2/10 = 0.2

Now we know the common ration is 0.2 is the common ratio of this sequence so we can find the next three terms of this sequence.

A(4) = A(3)×0.2 = .4×0.2 = .08

Similarly A(5) =A(4)×0.2 = 0.08×0.2 =.016

And A(6) =A(5)×0.2 = .016×.2 =0.0032

So the sequence will be 10,2,0.4,0.08,0.016,0.0032
