Let the number of steps moved down be represented by positive integers and the number of steps moved up by negative integers.

Given,

Monkey is at the step = 9

Now,

The step after:

1st jump  = 9 + (-4) = 5

2nd jump  = 5 + 2 = 7

3rd jump  = 7 + (-4) = 3

4th jump  = 3 + 2 = 5

5th jump  = 5 + (-4) = 1

Therefore, after 5 jumps, the monkey will reach back at the top.
