of the remaining

portion is under water and the remaining length
of the pole, which is 8 m, stands above the water.
Find the total length of the pole.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, the total length of pole which is still in the mud = 8 m.

This 8 m is actually 2/3 of the 4/7 of the pole. so 4/7 of the pole = 3/2*8 = 12 m.

Now 4/7 of the pole = 12 m. So total length of the pole = 12*7/4 = 21 m .
