The frog will require 98 jumps to get out of the well.
The frog jumps 2m high but falls down 1m, so it covers a net distance of 1m with each jump.
To calculate the number of jumps, we need to subtract the initial jump of 2m from the total depth of the well (100m).
The remaining distance to cover is 100m - 2m = 98m.
Since the frog covers 1m with each jump, it will require 98 jumps to cover the remaining distance and re...
