a man start going for morning walk every day. the distance walked by him on the first day was 2 kms. everyday he walks half of the distance walked on the previous day. what can be maximum total distance? walked by him in his life time?
The man walks 2 kilometers on the first day, and then each subsequent day he walks half the distance of the previous day. This forms a geometric progression with the first term (a) as 2 and a common ratio (r) of 1/2. The formula to find the sum of a geometric progression (S) is given by: S = a / (1 - r) In this case, a = 2 and r = 1/2. Let's calculate the maximum total distance walked in his lifetime: S = 2 / (1 - 1/2) S = 2 / (1/2) S = 2 * 2 S = 4 kilometers
