Given:

The tower bar is 10 1/4 inches.

The width of the door is 26 1/3 inches.

To Find:

The bar from the edge of the door.

* Refer to the attached for a visual representation of the question.

Find the difference in the length of the bar and the width of the door:

\text {Difference} = 26\dfrac{1}{3} -  10\dfrac{1}{4}

\text {Difference} = 26\dfrac{1 \times 4}{ 3 \times 4} -  10\dfrac{1 \times 3}{4 \times 3}

\text {Difference} = 26\dfrac{4}{12} -  10\dfrac{3}{12}

\text {Difference} = 16\dfrac{1}{12} \text { inches}

Find the width from the edge of the door to the bar:

Both width from either sides are equal.

\text{width each side} = 16\dfrac{1}{12} \div 2

\text{width each side} = \dfrac{193}{12} \times \dfrac{1}{2}

\text{width each side} = \dfrac{193}{24}

\text{width each side} = 8\dfrac{1}{24} \text { inches}

Answer: The bar should be placed 8 1/24 inches away from the edge of the door.
