I'm attaching the image with this. It seems that question is misprinted but lets say if any value like 0.6(by intuition) is given then what will be the approach to solve such type of questions.

If probability of moving right is also given , say p(r), then the swing will be at the same place, if the swing moves left and right equal no. of times=10/2 =5 . The answer should be $10C_5\times{p(r)}^5\times p(l)^5$
