One day Sara and Farah were walking on the shore of river Nile in Egypt
when they noticed a pole stuck in the middle of the river.
They went up to a house nearby and enquired about that pole.
The resident of the house told them that the pole was one-half in the
ground. The other one-third of it was covered by water, and the
remaining part of the pole is above the water which is about 11 feet.

66feet
66 feet
66 feet is the correct answer.
Total length of pole is 66 feet. 33 feet underground, 22 feet in water and 11 feet above water
33 Feet
Total length of the pole is 66 feet
1/2 the pole + 1/3 the pole = 5/6 of the pole
the remaining length is 1/6 of the pole
the whole length is 6 * 11 feet = 66 feet
the remaining of the pole is 1/6 of it
11 * 6 = 66 feet
The remaining part of the pole (above water) is 1/6 of the pole and it’s equal to 11 feet, so the whole pole is 66 feet.
66 feet total.
Hello Everybody
Let suppose total length = x
x/2 + x/3 +11 = x
3x + 2x + 66 = 6x
x=66
total length(x) = 66 feet
