Answer:

Option (B)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given sequence is 45, 135, 405, 1215, 3645..........

Since it's a geometric sequence,

Common ratio of each successive term to the previous term

r = [tex]\frac{135}{45}=3[/tex]

First term of the sequence 'a' = 45

Explicit formula of a geometric sequence will be,

[tex]a_n=a(r)^{n-1}[/tex]

[tex]a_n=45(3)^{n-1}[/tex]

Recursive formula of this sequence will be,

[tex]a_n=3(a_{n-1})[/tex], [tex]a_1=45[/tex]

Therefore, Option (B) will be the answer.
