Answers
Answer:
let us consider stepsvmoved down are represented by positive integers and then, moved up are represented by negative integers
.
intially monkey is sitting on the top most step ie first step
Step-by-step explanation:
In the first jump monkey will be at step= 1+3=4steps
In the second jump monkey will be at step =4+-2=2step
In the third jump monkey will be at step=2+3=5steps
In the fourth jump monkey will be at step=5+-2=3steps
In the fifth jump monkey will be at step=3+3=6steps
In the sixth jump monkey will be at step=6+-2=4
In the seventh jump monkey will be at step=4+3=7step
In the eighth jump monkey will be at step=7+-2=5steps
In the ninth jump monkey will be at step=5+3=8steps
In the tenth jump monkey will be at step=8+-2=6steps
In the eleventh jump monkey will be at step=6+3=9step
Monkey took 11 jumps (ie ninth steps ) to reach the water level
