Boxes are arranged 1 beside the other.
Each box is numbered with a number which represents the number of boxes it may jump(skip).
Find the minimum number of jumps required to reach last box.
Ex: Boxes are numbered as follows :
Index 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Number 2 3 1 2 1 1 4 2 1
Solution : Min. no. of jumps = 5
Starting from 1st box which is labelled 2, we can jump to 2 boxes or 1 box.
i.e. to Box numbered 3 or 1
From that 3 or 1 we can continue.
Here we have following solutions pairs index numbered from 1 to 9:
Students attend our lectures, not because the mathematics we teach ‘makes lots of fun’ for us, but because they believe they can learn some essential knowledge from us. And each of our young students has only one life to live. We should therefore be a
