A defined Sequence

Level 2

Let ( a n a_n ) be a finite sequence with 9 9 terms a 1 , a 2 , a 3 , . . . . a 9 a_1,a_2,a_3,....a_9 defined as follows: a n = { 1 if n occurs infinitely many times in decimal expansion of 11 6 2 if n occurs an odd numbers of times in the decimal expansion of 11 6 3 if n occurs an even number of times or doesn’t occur in the decimal expansion of 11 6 a_n = \begin{cases} 1 & \quad \text{if } n \text{ occurs infinitely many times in decimal expansion of} \frac{11}{6} \\ 2 & \quad \text{if } n \text{ occurs an odd numbers of times in the decimal expansion of} \frac{11}{6} \\ 3 & \quad \text{if } n \text{ occurs an even number of times or doesn't occur in the decimal expansion of} \frac{11}{6} \end{cases}

a 2 = a 4 = a 5 = a 6 = a 7 = a 9 = 3 a_2=a_4=a_5=a_6=a_7=a_9=3 i.e n = 6 n=6

a 1 = a 8 = 2 a_1=a_8=2 i.e n = 2 n=2

a 3 = 1 a_3=1
