B. 2/5
C. 2/3
D.
E.
Hi there. The source of this question was Gmatprep but I don't remember the other options. I believe this is an arithmetic progression sequence and the way I solve it is as follows:
Beginning: 4
End of 1st year: 4+ r
End of 2nd year: 4+2r
End of 3rd year: 4+3r
End of 4th year: 4+4r
End of 5th year: 4+5r
End of 6th year: 4+6r
So, 6th year-4th year= 2r
2r=1/5. Therefore, r=1/10. Obviously, my slotion isn't among the options. Please what am I missing?
