Answer

G.P. : 227,29,23,......,162\dfrac{2}{27}, \dfrac{2}{9}, \dfrac{2}{3}, ……, 162.

a = 227\dfrac{2}{27}

r = 29227=29×272\dfrac{\dfrac{2}{9}}{\dfrac{2}{27}} = \dfrac{2}{9} \times \dfrac{27}{2} = 3

l = 162.

We know that,

nth term from the end=lrn1{\text{nth term from the end}} = \dfrac{l}{r^{n - 1}}

Substitute values we get:

4th term from the end=lr41=16233=16227=6.\Rightarrow {\text{4th term from the end}} = \dfrac{l}{r^{4 - 1}} \\[1em] = \dfrac{162}{3^{3}} \\[1em] = \dfrac{162}{27} \\[1em] = 6.

Hence, the 6th term from the end is 6.

Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
