Expert Answer
Height from which it falls=48
so 1ST Time distance travelled=48
then it rebounds and so covers 2/3*48 and comes down to travel 2/3*144 again
so 2nd Time distance travelled=2*(2/3)*48
and so on,
Total D=48+2*(2/3)*48+2*(2/3)(2/3)48+.......
Apply sum to infinite GP
D=48[1+2*2/3+2*(2/3)2+......]
=48[1+2{2/3+(2/3)2+(2/3)3+.....infinity}]
=48[1+2(2)]
=240m
