Let the pole length be x
One third of the length of a pole is underground.
Pole underground = 1/3 × x = ×/3
One fifth is in water
Pole in water = 1/5 × x = x/5
Remaining meters are above water.
Pole above water = x - (x/3 + x/5)
x - (5x + 3x)/15
(15x - 8x)/15 = 7x/15
How long is the pole
Total length of pole
x/3 + x/5 + 7x/15
(5x + 3x + 7x)/15
15x/15
The given data is inadequate to find the total length of the pole.
