Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

(12 + 1) = 13 attempts

Step-by-step explanation:

The pole is measuring 15m

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

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

In such 12 attempts, the monkey will reach up to 12m.

Now on the next attempt, the monkey will be able reach (12m + 3m) = 15m i.e. at the top of the pole.  Which means, there will be no chance of slipping down.

Therefore, the monkey will reach the Top of the pole in (12 + 1) = 13 attempts.
