Answer:

PR and AC are two poles who have their shadows as  QR and  BC respectively. The shadows are formed at the same time.

∴ Δ P Q R ~ Δ A B C

∴ PR by AC = QR by BC

∴ PR by AC = QR by BC [Corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional]

∴ 4 by  8 = 6 by  x

∴ 4 × x = 8 × 6 ∴ x = 8 × 6 by 4

∴ x = 12 : B C = 12 m
