Question

one fourth of a stick is in water two third of it is buried in mud and rest part of the stick above water is greater than or equal to 2 metre find the length of the shortest stick​

Answer 1

Answer:

24 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let total length of stick be x

(1/4)x is in water

(2/3)x is burried in mud

x - [(1/4)x] - [(2/3)x] >= 2

x - [(11/12)x] >= 2

(1/12)x >= 2

x >= 24

Length of the shortest stick is 24 meters
