Answer / atul
If both candles are of height x.
Suppose both candles were burnt for t hrs.
First one can burn for 4 hrs.
First one can burn for x/4 in 1 hr.
First one can burn for t*x/4 in t hr.
Balance = (x-t*x/4)
second one can burn in 2 hrs.
second one can burn in x/2 in 1 hr
Second one can burn for t*x/2 in t hr.
Balance = (x-t*x/2)
as per given condition
Balance = (x-t*x/4) = 2*(x-t*x/2)
or
1-t/4 = 2-t
t-t/4 =1
3*t/4=1
so t= 4/3 hrs

Answer / sheeba manuel
Since both the candles are of the same height, and
candle B takes 2 hours to burn fully means, the time
taken for candle B to be just half of candle
A is 1 hour. (Half of candle A = half of candle B,
b'cos they have the same height)
Therefore answer is 1 hour
