Given:

A monkey climbs a 60 m high pole.

In the first minute, he climbs 6 m and slips down 3 m in the next minute.

Calculation:

According to the question

For 1st min, he climbs 6 m and comes down 3 m in 2nd min

Effectively in 2 min, he climbs 3 m.

In 1 min, he climbs (3/2) m

So, in 36 mins he climbs = (3/2 × 36) = 54 m

So, in 37th min, he climbs the next 6 m.

∴ The required value is 37 minutes.
