Question 1160063
<br>
The given information is inconsistent....<br>
And even if it were, there would not be enough information to answer the question.<br>
Given that the third term is 9 times the first term, the common ratio is either 3 or -3.<br>
But if the common ratio is 3, the second term is 1/27 of the fifth term -- not 1/24 of the fifth term.<br>
And even if the statement of that part of the problem had been correct, there is no information given about the actual value of ANY of the terms -- so it would be impossible to determine what the 4th term is.<br>
