Answer Posted / shashi

Hay the eassiest way to understand the answer is :
just assume that the length of the candel is 12 cm
now the burning rate is as follow's
now the thinner will last upto 4 hours so the rate of
burning will be 3cm/hr and for the thicker it will be 2cm/hr
Hours Thinner Thicker
First hour 3cm 2cm
second hr 6cm 4cm
third hr 9cm 6cm

so after three hr's the length of the remaining candel is
for THINNER it is 3 cm
for THICKER it is 6 cm
now the thicker is twice the length of thinner
