Question

A person was climbing on a building. He slips 1 m
for every 5 metre he climbs up. If the building is
53 m high and he takes 5 seconds to climb 1 metre,
find the total time taken by him to get on the top of
the building​

Answer 1

Assuming the slippage is continuous, his climbing rate is 4 meters in 25 seconds.

So, he scrambles up 53 meters in

53/(4/25) = 331.25 seconds.
