You are given a 60inch long ribbon, and you are instructed to cut 60 1-inch long strips out of this ribbon. The time taken to cut one strip i s one second. So how long will it take to cut 60 strips?

1 minute

1 minute and 1 second

30 seconds

59 seconds

Explanation:

Now 60 inch cloth is there and we have to cut it in such a way that 60 strips are to be cut now 1second per strip so now when last strip comes then 2 are left and in one cut both the strips will be cut so 59 second not 60 seconds
Hence, opiton 4 is the correct answer.
