Team Careers360 · Accepted Answer

Correct Answer: $\frac{50}{2}$

Solution : Given:
$7 \frac{1}{7}, 8 \frac{2}{6}, 9 \frac{5}{5}, 12 \frac{2}{4}, 16 \frac{2}{3}, ?$

First, convert all the mixed fractions into fractions –

$ \frac{50}{7}, \frac{50}{6}, \frac{50}{5}, \frac{50}{4}, \frac{50}{3}, ?$
Here, numerators are constant and subtract 1 from the denominator to get the next missing term in the series –
7 – 1 = 6; 6 – 1 = 5; 5 – 1 = 4; 4 – 1 = 3; 3 – 1 = 2

So, the series is: $7 \frac{1}{7}, 8 \frac{2}{6}, 9 \frac{5}{5}, 12 \frac{2}{4}, 16 \frac{2}{3}, \frac{50}{2}$.

So, $\frac{50}{2}$ is the missing term in the series. Hence, the third option is correct.
