\bold{\huge{\blue{\underline{ Solution }}}}


\bold{\underline{ Given :- }}

  • 1/3rd part of the length of a bamboo is coloured with red and 1/5th part of it is coloured with green and the remaining is 14m is coloured with yellow.


\bold{\underline{ To \: Find :- }}

  • We have to find the total length of the bamboo


\bold{\underline{ Let's \: Begin :- }}

Let the total length of bamboo be x

According to the question,


\sf{( 1)/(3)}{\sf{x +}}{\sf{( 1)/(5)}}{\sf{x + 14 = x }}


\sf{( 1)/(3)}{\sf{x + }}{\sf{(1)/(5)}}{\sf{x = x - 14 }}


\sf{(5x + 3x)/(15)}{\sf{ = x - 14 }}


\sf{ 5x + 3x = 15( x - 14 )}


\sf{ 8x = 15x - 210 }


\sf{ 210 = 15x - 8x}


\sf{ 7x = 210 }


\sf{ x = }{\sf{( 210)/(7)}}


\sf{\red{x = 30\: m}}

Hence, The total length of the bamboo is 30m.
