  • A \(\frac{2}{n + 1}\)
  • B (-1)n + 1 \(\frac{2}{n + 1}\)
  • C (-1)n \(\frac{2}{n + 1}\)
  • D \(\frac{n}{2n - 1}\)
  • E (-1)n\(\frac{n}{2n - 1}\)
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
(-1, \(\frac{2}{3}\), -\(\frac{1}{2}\), \(\frac{2}{5}\)......)
nthterm is (-1)n\(\frac{2}{n + 1}\)
Since (-1)n will always be negative for n = odd
