(D) 0.001< x <0.01
(E) 0.01< x <0.1

that's only my OA

10th term= 2^(10)
Reciprocal = x= 1/2^(10)= 1/1024

x=1/1024 < 1/1000=0.001
x=1/1024 > 1/10000=0.0001 OR 0.0001<x

0.0001<x<0.001

Ans: "C"

this series in G.P

so 10th term = ar^(n-1)

a=2 r=2 ,n=10

=>10th term = 2^10

reciprocal of 10th term = 1/(2^10) = 1/1024

we know that 1/1000 > 1/1024 > 1/10000

ie 1/1000 > x > 1/10000

0.0001 <x<0.001

$$2^{10} = 1024$$

I think remembering powers of 2 is useful, although it's not hard to quickly calculate this from the pattern.

$$\frac{1}{1024}$$, will be a little bit smaller than $$\frac{1}{1000}$$ or .001, say .0009

reciprocal of 10th term is 1/5th term *1/5th term
=1/32*1/32
= .03*.03
=.0009xxx
so itsbigger than .0001 but lesser than .001

hope its simple

10th term is 1024. So the reciprocal is between .001 and .0001. Hence C.
