Correct Answer: 21 minutes. * Monkey climbs 2 meters in first minute and slips one meter in next meter. * So overall he climbs 1 meter in 2 minutes. * So he will climb 10 meter in 20 minutes. * And in next minute (21 st minute) he will climb 2 meter so total = 10 + 2 = 12 meters . * So option B is correct.
