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 / kunal patil-pune
as per data,
thicker one can consume 1/6 in an hour
smaller can consume 1/4 in an hour.
consider after an hour,
thicker one consume 1/6 & remains 5/6.
shorter one consume 1/4 & remains 3/4.
AFTER 2 HOURS,
thicker one consums 2/6 & remains 4/6.
shorter one consumes 2/4 & remns 2/4.
AFTER 3 HOURS,
thicker one consumes 3/6& remains 3/6.
shorter one consumes 3/4 & remains 1/4.
THIS CLEARLY MEANS THAT,
THICKER IS 50% OFORIGIONAL LENGTH.
&
THINNER ONE IS 25% OF ORIGIONAL LENGTH.
