Given that :-

Geometric sequence → -320,80,-20,5

To find :-

Common ratio .

Solution :-

Common ratio = ar/a

→ Here a = -320

→ ar = 80

→ Common ratio = 80/-320

  • → Common ratio = -1/4

Let's check it →

Taking a = 80 and ar = -20

→ Common ratio = -20/80

  • → Common ratio = -1/4

So common ratio will be -1/4
