Detailed Solution
Initially the ball falls from a height of 120m. After striking the floor, it rebounds and goes to a height of 45×120m Now, it falls from a height of 45×120m and after rebounding goes to a height of 4545120 m. This process is continued till the ball comes to rest Hence, the total distance travelled is 120+12045+120452+.....=1201-45=600m
