 12 feet

24 feet

8(2/3)+4 = 12 *  2 = 24 feet                                                  

 i think it is 48 ft...

considering x as the height of the pole...

x/2 +x/3 + 8ft = x

I agree with aravind

It would be 48 ft

 

1-1/2+1/3 = 1/6

1/6= 8 ft

half will be 24 and one third will be 16 total will be 48 ft

48 ft

48 ft

yes, 48 is the answer :)

Ans :48f eet
