A drunkard is walking along a stsraight road. He takes five steps forward and three steps backward and so on. Each step is `1 m` long and takes `1 s`. There is a pit on the road `11 m`, away from the starting point. The drunkard will fall into the pit after.A. ` 29 s`B. ` 21 s`C. ` 37 s`D. ` 31 s` |
Answer» Correct Answer - A Since the last five steps covering `5 m` land the drunkard fell into the pit, displacement prior to theis is 11-5 `m=6 m` . Time taken for edight steps (displacement in first eight steps `=5-3=2 m`) `=8 s`. Then time taken to cover first `6 m` of journey `=(6)/(2)xx8 =24 s` Time taken to cover last `5 m=5 s` Total time `=24 +5=29 s` . |
