Vipul was studying for his examinations and the lights went
off. It was around 1:00 AM. He lighted two uniform candles
of equal length but one thicker than the other. The thick
candle is supposed to last six hours and the thin one two
hours less. When he finally went to sleep, the thick candle
was twice as long as the thin one.

Answer / vijay

I feel that he studied for 2hrs.. That must be the answer.
Cos, the thick one was twice as long as the thin one when he
slept. Thick one lasts 6hrs Thin one lasts 4hrs. Subtract
2hrs from both. u find that thick one will last 4more hrs..
and thin one for 2 more hrs.. so, thick one will be twice as
long as the thin one. Correct me if im wrong.
