aman aditya  (8 years ago) Best Solution

37 min

In 1st min it climb 6m and in 2nd min it slips 3m,
so it final displacement is 3m in 2min.
now for 51m it has taken 34 min.
in 35 min it goes to 57m.
in 36 min come down to 54 m.
in 37 min it goes to 60 , hence the answer.

HASEENA  (7 years ago)

Total Height = 60mts
Monkey climbed 6 mts and fall 3 mts in alternate minutes.
This Means in every 2 mins Monkey climbed only 3mts.(6-3=2)
Point should be noted that the last Jump of the Monkey will not follow the Order as it will reach its destination.
So now the total height to be climbed with the given fashion is 60-6 = 54mts.

Now we reach at the mathematical Operation.
Monkey Climbed 3mts in Every 2 Mins.
So it climbed 54 metres in 2/3*54 = 36 mins
last Jump was yet to be calculated. So the total time required is 36+1 = 37.

Its 40 min.
1st min 6 meter, 2nd min -3 meter
So it can climb 1.5meters in 1 min.

Hence it will take 40 min to climb 60 meter

Ans- 37 min

Explain- In 1st 2 min, monkey climb overall 3m.
means - 3m in 2 min.
or 1m in 2/3 min.
or 54m in 2/3 * 54 = 36 min.
and remaining 6m will climb in 1min.
so, taken time 36+1= 37 min.

40 min . 1 min =6 metre
next min =3metre (minus from 6)
left with 3 metre i.e half
i.e if first divide 40 min to half .20 min to (20*6)120 metres up and
20 min to (20*3) 60 metres down i.e total 120-60 =60 metres hence 40 min is answer
