For every integer K from 1 to 10, inclusive the kth term of a certain sequence is given by (-1)^(k+1) (1/2^K).
If T is the sum of first 10 terms in the sequence, then T is

A. Greater than 2
B. Between 1 and 2
C. Between 1/2 to 1
D. Between 1/4 to1/2
E. Less than ¼

Calculate until you see the pattern.

If k=1, -1^(1+1)*(1/2*1) = 1/2
If k=2, -1^(2+1)*(1/2*2) = -1/4
Sum of the first two terms is 1/2 + ( -1/4) = 1/4.

If k=3, -1^(3+1)*(1/2*3) = 1/8.
If k=4, -1^(4+1)*(1/2*4) = -1/16

Now we can see the pattern.
The sum increases by a fraction (1/8, for example) and then decreases by a fraction 1/2 the size (-1/16, for example).
In other words, the sum will alternate between going up a little and then down a little less than it went up.

The sum of the first 2 terms is 1/4.
From there, the sum will increase by 1/8, decrease by a smaller fraction (1/16), increase by an even smaller fraction (1/32), and so on.
Since all of the fractions after the first two terms will be less than 1/4, the sum will end up somewhere between 1/4 and 1/2.

The correct answer is D.
