Even if the rope is not uniform still it takes 1 hour to
burn off completly, So if the thick portion takes more time
the thin portion would burn faster.

Answer / pawan
Ya Varun,
But if u burn it from both the ends it would take 30 min.
See it is clearly mentioned that the rope takes 1 hour to
burn off completely. As it is not uniform thick portion
would take more time and thin portion would teke less time.

It is not necesarry that it will burn in exactly half an hour
