Answer:
Distance covered with 1 step = 1 m
Time taken = 1 s
Time taken to move first 5 m forward = 5 s
Time taken to move 3 m backward = 3 s
Net distance covered = 5 – 3 = 2 m
Net time taken to cover 2 m = 8 s
Drunkard covers 2 m in 8 s.
Drunkard covered 4 m in 16 s.
Drunkard covered 6 m in 24 s.
Drunkard covered 8 m in 32 s.
In the next 5 s, the drunkard will cover a distance of 5 m and a total distance of 13 m and falls into the pit.
Net time taken by the drunkard to cover 13 m = 32 + 5 = 37 s
I hope, this will help you
=======================
i am not gonna solve this in the true method...
This is how i Found it easy to solve...
In Simple sense...
The drunkard Take 5 step forward and 3 step backward
-> overall He takes 2 steps..
i.e., net distance travelled each turn is 2 meters.
Now Each step takes 1 second.
Since he takes 5 step forward->5 sec.
and 3 step backward->3sec
So net time taken each turn=5+3=8sec.
Simplied-> 2meter takes 8 seconds.
-> 1meter takes 4seconds.
Given: The pit is at a distance 11 meter
before we conclude we must know that the drunkard takes 5 step forward and then. 3 step backward.
and since 6+5=11
[ taken because after he travel 6m. he then travles 5m.(5 step) =11m and falls to pit]
Now; the time for 6m is taken from(2m->8sec)
i.e net time to travel 6m is (6×4)=24seconds.
And then for 5m(i.e 5step -5 second) is 5seconds.
So total time taken is 24+5=29 seconds...
WARNING: We must not take 8m as After the 6m. The drunkard falls into the pit.
Hope it helps...
