Answer Posted / sunil
let us assume the total units is lcm(6, 4)= 12 units;
candle 1 lasts 6 hours => in 1 hour the candle 1 lasts 2 units,
caldle 2 lasts 6-2 = 4 hours => in 1 hour the candle 2 lasts
3 units.
there fore remaining units for candle 1 after t hours is 12-2t
remaining units for candle 2 after t hours is 12-3t
there fore (12 - 2t) = 2(12 - 3t) [from the question]
=> 12 - 2t = 24 - 6t
=> 6t - 2t = 24 - 12
=> 4t = 12
=> t = 3 hours.
