Answer 1

Monkey is at first step
Water is at ninth step
To reach water the monkey needs to pass eight steps
(1) Monkey jumps 3steps forward and 2steps backward
Total number of jumps=3+2=5
Total no of steps he passes by jumping 5 times=3(forward)-2(backward)
=1 step
For 5jumps he moves by one step
For 8steps he jumps 40times(8*5=40)
In 40 jumps he reachers water
(2) Monkey jumps 5steps up and 3 steps down
Total no of jumps 5+3=8 jumps
Total no of steps he goes up by jumping 8 times =5-3=2steps
No of steps he needs to go up to reach the top is 8steps
For 8jumps it goes up by 2steps
No of jumps to reach the top (to cross 8steps)=16(8*2)
In 16 jumps he reaches the top
