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 / sandhya
let L be the length of candles and t be the time(hrs) he
litted the candles.
after t hrs the propotions of loss is same...
so..
for thicker 6-t/4-t =(L-x/2)/(L-x/4)
then u get t as 2Hrs
