Answer Posted / abhijnan dasgupta
let their original lengths be 1 each...let no. of hrs
elapsed since he lighted the candles be x....now since they
are consumed in 6 and 4 hrs respectively their rate of
decrease=1/6 per hr and 1/4 per hr respectively...so we need
(1-x/6)/(1-x/4)=2/1...which gives...x=3 hrs..
