Question

. 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:

10

Explanation:

Net displacement in every attempt is 1m upwards, thus to cover 10 m it will take the monkey 10 attempts

Answer 2

Answer:

in one attempt net value of distance boy climb is 3–2 = 1m

in 6 attempts boy climbs = 6 m

in the 7th attempt, he climbs = 6+3–2 = 7 m

in the eighth attempt he reaches 7+3 = 10 m

Hence answer 8 attempts
