Answer / sasidhar
Let the initial height of the candles be equal to 1 unit. If the candles have burned for x hours for the first candle to be half the height of the second candle, we can write
(x/4)=((4-x)/4)
(x/6)=((6-x)/6)
Height of the first candle left = (1/2)Height of the second candle
((4-x)/4)=((6-x)/6)
x=1 hr
so ramesh light the candles before=total length of thin candle-remaining length of thin candle)=4-1=3hr
