A drunkard walking in a narrow lane takes 5 steps forward and 3 steps backward, followed again by 5 steps forward and 3 steps backward, and so on. Each step is 1 m long and requires 1 s. Plot the `x -t` graph of his motion. Determine graphically and otherwise how long the drunkard takes to fall in a pit 13 m away from the start

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 drunkard moves on a straight road such that he takes 7 steps forward and 2 steps backward in each cycle. If the stride length of each step is 1 feet and the drunkard moves with a speed 2 feet/s in forward direction and 4 feet/s in backward direction, then the time after which the drunkard will fall into a pit 11 feet further from his starting point is

A man takes a step forward with probability 0.4 and backward with probability 0.6. Find the probability that at the end of 5 steps,he is one step away from the starting point.
