Answer Posted / ashish rawat
let the length of candle is – L
let ramesh light candles x hours ago
thinner one lasts = 4h
length burnt in one hour = L/4
length burnt in x hour = xL/4
remaining length = L-(xL/4) = (4-x)L/4
thicker one lasts = 6h
length burnt in one hour = L/6
length burnt in x hour = xL/6
remaining length = L-(xL/6) = (6-x)L/6
now according to conditions after x hours , thicker candle
length = 2*thinner candle length
(6-x)L/6 = 2* (4-x)L/4
(6-x) = 3*(4-x)
2x = 12-6 = 6
x = 3 hours
