Question No. 5 of
arks
Seven poles P, Q, R, S, T, U and V are put in such a
way that the distance between the next two
decreases by 2 km. The distance between the first
two poles, P and Q, is 20 km. Now answer the
following questions.
If a monkey hops from pole V to pole R, then how
much distance did it cover ?
None of these
52 km
59 km
56 km​

Answer 1

Answer:

52

Explanation:

distance between poles

P &Q =20 KM

Q& R = 18 KM( 2 km decreases)

R& S = 16km

S& T = 14km

T&U=12km

U&V =10km

so when monkey jumps from pole V to R it covers a distance of 52 km

(16+14+12+10)km =52 km

Answer 2

Answer:

The total distance covered by the monkey from pole V to pole R is

option b, that is 52 kms.

Explanation:

According to the question,each successive distance between poles is decreased by 2 kms.

In addition to this, we know the distance between P and Q which is 20 kms.

With the given information, we can infer that the following,

Distance between Q and R = 18kms

Distance between R and S= 16 kms

Distance between S and T= 14 kms

distance between T and U= 12 kms

Distance between U and V =10kms.

The total distance from V to R will hence be

(16+14+12+10)= 52 kms.
