A drunkard is walking along a straight road. He takes 5 steps forward and 3 steps backward, followed by 5 steps forward and 3 steps backward and so on. Each stepis one meter long and takes one second. There is a pit on the road 11 meters away from the starting point. The drunkard will fall into th pit after : (1) 29 s (2) 21 s (3) 37s (4) 31 s
