Answer 1

Answer:

it would go nothing to do it

Answer 2

Given:

A drunk man moves $2$ steps forward in $1$ minute.

He moves a step backward in half minute.

For each and every step he move forward he moves half a metre.

For each and every step he moves backward he moves fourth of a metre.

To find:

How many metre will he move from his initial position.

Step by step explanation:

• The drunk man moves $2$ steps forward in one minute.
• We know that for each and every step he takes forward he moves half a metre.
• So in one minute if he takes $2$ steps forward he moves,

        $0.5m+0.5m$

• By solving the above equation we get $1m$.
• So after a minute the drunk man will be $1m$ forward from his initial position.
• For the every half a minute he move a step backward.
• For each and every step he makes backward he moves $0.25 m$ backward.
• So after every one minute the drunk man make $2$ steps backward.
• So,

        $0.25m+0.25m=0.5m$

• Thus the drunk man makes $2$ forward step and $2$ backward step in one minute.

        $1m-0.5m=0.5m$

• So the position of the drunk man after every one minute will be $0.5m$ forward from his initial position.

Final answer:

The drunk man moves $0.5m$ forward from his initial position after every minute.
