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.
