Answer: Option C

Solution

Answer: Option C
Solution:
Monkey climbs 6 m in 1st minute and slips down 3 m in next minute
i.e. Monkey climbs 3 meter in 2 minute then he climbs in one minute,
= m.
But in the last minute he climbs 6 m as he gets on the top so there is no slip.
Time required =   = 37 minutes.
