There are two candles of equal lengths and of different
thickness. The thicker one lasts of six hours. The thinner
2 hours less than the thicker one. Ramesh lights the two
candles at the same time. When he went to bed he saw the
thicker one is twice the length of the thinner one. How
long ago did Ramesh light the two candles .
Answer Posted / subhakar prabhu
The equations for the lengths of the candles (in terms of time)
Thick length = 1 - t/6
Thin length = 1 - t/4
At time T, (1 - T/6) = 2*(1-T/4)
This gives T = 3.
