A water tank has steps inside it. A monkey is sitting on the topmost step(i.e., the first step). The water level is at the ninth step. After drinking water, he wants to go back. For this, he jumps 4 steps up and then jumps back 2 steps down in every move. In how many jumps will he reach back the top step?

A water tank has steps inside it. A monkey is sitting on the topmost step(i.e., the first step). The water level is at the ninth step. If the number of steps moved down is represented by negative integers and the number of steps moved up by positive integers, represent his moves in part (i) and (ii) by completing the following, (a) -3+2 -..= -8 (b) 4-2+...= 8. In (a) the sum (-8) represents going down by eight steps. So, what will the sum 8 in (b) represent?

In Mohan's house,there are stairs for going down to the godown.Let us consider the numberof stairs going up to the terrace as positive integer,the number of stairs going down to the godown as negative integer and he ndumber repreenting ground level as zero.If Mohan godown 5 steps from the ground floor and then move up 12 steps from there,then where he will reach.Wirte down the answer as integer.

One day in the morning, Ramesh filled up 1/3 bucket of hot water from geyser, to take bath. Remaining 2.3 was to be filled by cold water (at room temperature) to bring mixture to a comfortable temperature. Suddenly Ramesh had to attend to something which would take some time say 5 - 10 minutes before he could take bath. Now the he had two options: (i) fill the remaining bucket completely by cold water and then attend to the work, (ii) first attend to the work and fill the remaining bucket just before taking bath. Which option do you think would have kept water warmer ? Explain.

A man leaves his home early in the morning to have a walk. He arrives at a junction of roads A and B as shown in figure. He takes the following steps in later journies : (i) 1 km in North direction. (ii) Changes direction and moves in North-East direction for 2 sqrt(2) km. (iii) Changes direction and moves Southwards for distance of 2 km. (iv) Finally he changes the direction and moves in South-East direction to reach road A again. Now if roads A and B are taken as X-axis and y-axis ,then visible point representing the graph of y=f(x) Then the value of x at which function f(x) is discontinous
