It will take only 15 seconds.
Way of solving.
Neet to build up three equations using the velocity equation " lv = t."
If the height is "h", Speed at occation 1 & 2 are S1 & S2 respectively.
Equation 1 --- 1 x s1 = h
Equation 2 -- 3 x s2 = h
Equation 3 -- time taken for reaching the top (Say "t") x(s1 + s2) = h
t = h/(s1 + s2) = h/ (h/1 + h/3) = 1/(1+4) = 0.25 minutes.
Erith matical mistake is there.
t = h/ (h/1 + h/3) = 3h/4h = 0.75minuts.
