Expert Answer
Let us assume 5 forward motion and 3 backward motion as one cycle.
Displacement for one cycle = (5 - 3 ) m = 2 m
Time duration of one cycle = ( 5 +3 ) 8 seconds
Number of full cycles required for 11 m distance = 11 / 2 = 5
Hence movement towards the pit has 5 complete cycles and 1 m forward distance
Required time t = ( 5 × 8 ) + 1 = 41 seconds
