Question of The Day12-04-2021

Answer

Correct Answer : b ) 22

Explanation :

According to the question

A monkey climbs 3 m and slips 1m,

So, in 1 jump monkey can climb effectively = 2m

Length of the tower = 45m

Subtract the last jump of the monkey from the length of tower, = 45 – 3 = 42

Total jump needed by monkey to reach 42 m =\(42 \over 2\)=21 jumps

In last jump he reaches at the top, so total jump to climb = 21 + 1 = 22

Hence, (b) is the correct answer.
