Thank you for asking the question.
I will help you in finding the answer.
As the monkey climbs 5 feet after every seconds and then slips down 3 feet in other second so 5-3 =2 feet that mean monkey climbs up 2 feet after every 2 seconds. except for last second as in the last second monkey will reach the top.
So, let's just put last 5 ft aside for a while.
total height is 75 so subtracting 5 made it = 70 feet
so according to this time required= 70/2 * 2 = 90 seconds
adding the last minute in it would make it 91 seconds to reach the top.
i hope this will help you.
