Question : Directions: Which of the following numbers will replace the question mark (?) in the given series? $\frac{1}{121}, \frac{1}{11}, 1, ?, 121$
Option 1: 11
Option 2: 12
Option 3: 21
Option 4: 1
Correct Answer: 11
Solution : Given: $\frac{1}{121}, \frac{1}{11}, 1, ?, 121$
Multiply the previous term by 11 to obtain the next term. $\frac{1}{121}×11=\frac{1}{11}; \frac{1}{11}×11=1; 1×11=11; 11×11=121$
