Explanation:
Let the length of original pole be x
Length of longer pole = x(11/(11 + 7)) = 11x/18Length of shorter pole = x(7/(11 + 7)) = 7x/18
Since the longer piece was 6 m longer than the shorter piece,
11x/18 = 7x/18 + 6⇒ 4x/18 = 6⇒ x = 6×18/4 = 27
Hence the length of the original pole is 27 m
Hope it helped

Rate an answer:
4Let consider length of the pole =X
The pole was broken into two ration 11:7 .
∴ Length of the longer part = X of 11/18 = 11X/18
Length of the shorter part = X of 7/18 =7X/18
According the question:-
(Length of the longer part) - ( Length of the shorter part) = 6m
⇒11X/18 - 7X/18= 6m
⇒( 11X -7X )/18 = 6m
⇒ 4X/18= 6m
⇒4X = 18 ×6=108
⇒ X = [tex]\frac{108}{4}[/tex]= 27m
Hence the length of the pole will be 27m.
Ans:- The length of the pole will be 27m.
