Answer 1

10attempts............

Answer 2

Given that,

Height of pole = 15 m

He tries to climb 3 m and slips down 2 m every time.

So, that means he climbs 1 m in every attempt.

We need to calculate the covered height by monkey in every attempt

Using given data

Height covered by monkey in every attempt = he covers the 3 m height and slips down 2m in every attempt

$h=3-2$

$h=1\ m$

We need to calculate the number of attempts

Using given data

If the monkey covered 1 m height in every attempt.

So, The monkey be able to climb 10 m of the pole in 10 attempts.

Hence, The number of attempts are 10.
