From height of 8 mts a ball fell down and each time it bounces half the distnace back. What will be the distance travelled
Explanation
The distance traveled by the ball can be calculated by adding up the distances covered in each bounce. Since the ball bounces back half the distance it falls, the total distance traveled is the sum of the initial drop distance (8 meters) and the distances covered in each subsequent bounce. As the question does not provide any information about the number of bounces, it can be assumed that there is only one bounce. Therefore, the total distance traveled is 8 meters (initial drop) + 4 meters (distance covered in the bounce) = 12 meters. Since none of the given options match this calculation, the correct answer is not available.Rate this question:

$40,000 (BMW) + $12,000 (Skoda) = $52,000.Rate this question:
