Explanation:

Initial distance travelled = 180 m

Distance travelled after 1st rebound

Upward = 35 × 180 = 108 m

Downward = 108 m

Total = 108 + 108 = 216 m

Distance travelled after 2nd rebound (upward and downward)

35 × 108 × 2 = 35 × 216 m

This gives an infinite G.P. with

a = 216 and r = 35.

For an infinite G.P. with r <>

s = a1-r = 2161-35 = 540 m

Since initial distance was 180 m,

Total distance = (180 + 540) m = 720 m

Hence, option (c).
