3 Hr is the Answer
Thick can last for 6hr. Thin can last for 4 hr. Let LCM of 6,4 be the total length of candle. Candle Length = 12
Hence, their efficiency ratio is
Th : Tn = 2 : 3 (In 1hr, 2 parts of Thick candle and 3 parts of thin candle Burnt down)
Hence in 3 hr, 6 parts of Thick candle and 9 parts of Thin candle burnt down
Remaining 6 parts of Thick candle and 3 parts of Thin candle is there Out of 12 parts(It is of ratio 2 : 1)
Hence 3 hr is the answer

0 Answers   Zoho,


You're working on a game that involves enemy wizards dueling each other. Each wizard has at least a dozen different spells at his disposal -- some of them simply inflict damage, while others will temporarily stun or immobilize an enemy, slow him, prevent him from casting spells for a brief duration, teleport the caster a short distance, or give the caster a temporary shield. A wizard can only cast one spell at a time, but each spell has a fixed cooldown (time before it can be cast again) and an associated mana cost (assume no mana regeneration). Describe some ways you might implement a competent AI system for a wizard.
