Actually, it is impossible to answer the question as it is presented.
Although the given first four terms form a geometric sequence with common ratio 2/3, it is BAD MATHEMATICS to assume any information about a problem that is not given.
Since the problem doesn't tell us that the sequence is geometric, we can't assume it is just because the first four terms make it look geometric.
So the subsequent numbers in the sequence could be anything -- making it of course impossible to answer the questions....
