APTITUDE QUES (9/12)

A monkey starts climbing up a tree 20ft. tall. Each hour, it hops 3ft. and slips back 2ft. How much time would it take the monkey toreach the top?

  2. 18 is correct...coz in the 1st hr...its climbing 3 feet and slips 2 feet back...so it has climbed 1 foot..similarly 17 hrs .....17 feet... in the 18th hr asusual it jumps 3 feet...but as it reaches the total height of the wall... i.e., it'll not slip back...so 18 is right....
