a frog in its first jump from the equator reaches 1°4' latitude in second jump reaches 2°4'N and in third jump reaches 3°4'N in how many jumps frog will reach kanyakumari.
Answers
Answer:
It will take 8 jumps
Explanation:
starting from equator 1°4' to reach kanyakumari which is 8°4' so it will will take 8 jumps
Given,
A frog in its first jump from the equator reaches 1°4'N latitude.
In second jump reaches 2°4'N.
In third jump reaches 3°4' N.
To find,
In how many jumps frog will reach kanyakumari.
Solution,
We can simply solve this numerical problem by using the following process.
Now, we know that the Kanyakumari is situated at the 8°4'N latitude.
From the given data, we can simply calculate the latitudinal difference between the starting and ending point of each jumps.
In first jump :
= 1°4' - 0° (As, equator = 0°)
= 1°4'
In Second jump :
= 2°4' - 1°4'
= 1°4'
Similarly, in third jump a latitudinal difference of 1°4' will be there between the starting point and ending point of the said jump. So, it is clear that the latitudinal difference between the starting point and ending point of each jumps is equal (ie. 1°4')
Thus,
Number of jumps required :
= Latitudinal difference between ending and starting points of the whole journey / Latitudinal difference between starting point and ending point of a single jump
= (8°4'-0°)/1°4'
= 8°4'/1°4'
= 8
Hence, the frog will reach kanyakumari in 8 jumps.
