Answer / pawan
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.
