 2030  210 Motion in a Straight Line Report Error

Solution:

Displacement in first eight steps Time taken for first eight steps
Time taken by drunkard to cover first six metres of journey

If the drunkard takes 5 steps more, he will fall into the pit so the time taken by the drunkard to cover last five steps
Total time taken
