Answer:

Option a

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that all of the seniors and none of the freshmen voted for it.

Some of the juniors and some of the sophomores voted for the proposal and some voted against it.

If the proposal was to be adopted then a simple of majority of votes should have been cast.

Since all seniors voted for it, and no freshmen number of freshmen has to be less than seniors then only majority would have voted.

Regarding juniors and sophomores we assume some voted and some against thus approximately nullifying their votes.

So the correct option would be

a. There are more seniors than freshmen on the council.

Option b wrong since only some voted for it.

C is wrong because actual seniors were not given.

D is wrong because while seniors voted for sophomores voted against.

e is wrong since sophomores and freshmen nullified each other

The common ratio of a geometric series is 1/4 and the sum of the first 4 terms is 170.
Illusion [34]

Answer: the first term of the series is 128

Step-by-step explanation:

In a geometric sequence, the consecutive terms differ by a common ratio. The formula for determining the sum of n terms, Sn of a geometric sequence is expressed as

Sn = a(1 - r^n)/(1 - r)

Where

n represents the number of term in the sequence.

a represents the first term in the sequence.

r represents the common ratio.

From the information given,

r = 1/4 = 0.25

n = 4

S4 = 170

Therefore, the expression for the sum of the 4 terms, S4 is

170 = a(1 - 0.25^4)/(1 - 0.25)

170 = a(1 - 0.00390625)/(1 - 0.25)

170 = a(0.99609375)/(0.75)

170 = 1.328125a

a = 170/1.328125

a = 128
