As much as I admire the Western discoveries , I would have to say that the curriculum is absolutely wild!
In all honesty , this is the easiest question based upon geometric series that I've ever seen, and why are 16 year Olds supposed to solve these?
To play devils advocate, if we drop the ball from height h from the ground, velocity when it hits the ground becomes root( 2 g h). It bounces back with a velocity of e times initial velocity and thus rises to an height of e²h
Comparing the two , e comes out to be 1 over square root of 2 and thus , for any nth successive drop , maximum height that ball rises up to is e^(2n) times h where e is coeffient of restitution between ground and the ball
I really wish the syllabi and the curriculum of America as a whole focuses on in depth learning ,rather than letting their bright minds of the future be stuck on solving questions meant for 13-14 year olds

Government schools produce idiots who are dependent upon the government. This is like regard easy.

The disparity between the highest achieving and struggling kids is rising year after year. A real troubling trend!! 😕
