    600 seconds.

    Explanation:

    A caterpillar climbs up a one meter (100 cm) wall.

    For every 2 cm caterpillar climbs up and slides down 1 cm.

    That means caterpillar climbs up = 2 - 1 = 1 cm

    Caterpillar reaches to the top in 10 minutes. We have to calculate the time in seconds.

    Since 1 minute = 60 seconds

    Therefore, 10 minutes = 10*60 = 600 seconds

    Time involved for the caterpillar to climb to the top will be 600 seconds.
