Using this simple logic.
Shadow of all objects at a given time are proportional to their heights.
Let the height of the pole be L cm.
Therefore,
L/600 =170/204
=> L =(170×600)/204
=> L =500
Therefore L cm = 500 cm [Answer]
Hope this helps. However, you should use concept of similar triangles for solving these types of questions.
For more clarification and discussion please comment. Thanks!
