Question

10. A monkey is trying to climb a pole measuring 15 m, which is greased. He tries to climb 3 m and slips down 2 m every time. In how many attempts will the monkey be able to climb 10 m of the pole?​

Answer 1

Answer: 13 attempts

Step-by-step explanation:

The pole is measuring 15m

Every time, the monkey tries to climb 3m and slips down 2m.

So, in every attempt the monkey climbs (3m - 2m) = 1m

Therefore, in 12 attempts the monkey will reach up to 12m.

On the next attempt, the monkey will be able reach (12m + 3m) = 15m because there will be no chance of slipping down.

The monkey will reach the top of the pole in (12 + 1) = 13 attempts.
