nk gour  (10 years ago)

since first B moves 3 steps forward nd then 1 step backward so in total 4 seconds he moves only 2 steps forward so in 116 seconds he moves 58 steps forward now in next 2 seconds he moves 2 steps so in 118 seconds he moves total 60 steps forward.
so no. of steps required to reach the top of the escalator is 60.
now let d escalator moves a steps per second so in 4 seconds B moves 2 steps(3steps forward nd 1 step backward)in these 4 sec. escalator moves 4a step so in 4 sec. B moves a total of 2+4a step.
so in 40 second total move=10*(2+4a)
so, 10*(2+4a)=60
hence a=1step/sec.

suppose it is taking 2 steps in 1 seconds so speed is 2m/s and time is 118 s so distance travelled by b is 118*2= 236
now for for 40 sec it travels 80 m
and speed = 80*40
=3200
