Question

in the first minute Geeta climbs 15 Steps of a building after the after that he climbs 3 steps less than in the previous minute the total number of steps climbed by guitar in 5 minutes is

Answer 1

Problem edited since i missed a line from the problem, A monkey wants to climb up a pole of 50 metre height. he first climbs up 1 m but he falls back by same height. Again he climbs up 2 m but he falls back by 1 m. Again he climbs up 3 m and falls back by 1 m. Again he climbs up 4 metre but falls back by 1 m. In this way he reaches top of the pole. If it is known that the monkey needs 10 secs for 1 metre in upward direction and 5 secs for 1 metre in downward direction. Then find the total time required by monkey to reach at the top of the pole. Note that, when he will reach at the top he will not be slipped back hence find the total time required by this monkey to reach on the top of the pole.

I have solved this question and i have getting over 10 minutes as answer. But book's answer is 9 minutes 10 seconds. I am not getting why the answer differs.

solution: (1,1) ,(2,1) ,(3,1),(4,1)the pair (x,y) where x=climbing interval and y=falling interval now then..... 1st time =0m 2nd time =2-1=1m 3rd time =3-1=2m 4th time =4-1=3m effective distance covered in 1 cycle=(0+1+2+3)=6m total distance covered =climbing distance + falling distance...... (1) for each cycle..... climmbing distance =(1+2+3+4)=10 but ...... falling distance = (1+1+1+1)=4

total time for each cycle=time(climbing dist)+time(falling dist) =10*10+4*5=120sec this process repeats for 8 interval
hence 120*8=960 sec after this i am not able to solve the problem
