Thin candle melts 3/4 in 3 hours leaving 1/4
Where as in the same time thick candle melts 3/6 leaving 3/6 which is 1/2. Now thick candle is exactly twice than the thin candle.

Or via modeling:

We need to find time at which the length of the thin candle is half the thick candle. Let x be the time. Thin candle melts at 1/4 an hour and thick candle melts at 1/6 an hour. In x hours they melt at x/4 and x/6 respectively. What’s left will be 1 – x/4 and 1 – x/6. We need to find x at which :

2 * (1 – (x/4)) = 1 – (x/6)

This equation results in x = 3

B. 27

( Number × 2 ) + 1
3 × 2 + 1 = 7
7 × 2 + 1 = 15
15 × 2 + 1 = 31 ( not 27 )
31 × 2 + 1 = 63
63 × 2 + 1 = 127
127 × 2 + 1 = 255

there wil be two point of intersections

I have seen a few say 25% as an answer to this. But looks
like their math isn’t good and is extremeley complex to
have an asnwer of 25% to this question. Consider – Rs.1.00/-
per mango; so 40 mangoes = Rs.40.00/-, implies Rs.4.00/-
extra at the end of the deal. So he’s left with Rs.44.00/-
after selling 40 mangoes implies a profit of Rs.4.00/- over
Rs.40.00 = 44/40 = 110% which means his profit is 10%.
Hope this helps…
Thanks.

A=P+SI——(1)
sum of money after 30 years = Double the money
A=2P———-(2)

Equate 1 and 2
P+SI=2P
SI=2P-P
SI=P————-(3)

WKT, SI= PTR/100

Equate 3 and SI

P=PTR/100
P=P*30*R/100
R=P*100/P*30
R=100/30 or 10/3 or 3(1/3) %

let no of boys in group is = x
then total sum = 30 * x
after joining one more boys with a weight of 35 kg the total sum is = 30x + 35
after joining the new student the weight will increase 1 kg
so total sum
30x + 35 = 31(x+1)
x = 4

Let Suvarna, Tara, Uma and Vibha be S,T,U,V respectively
initially in the beginning each persons share be
V = x U = y T = z
S = w = (x+y+z+32) Reason: She has to double others share, so she should have each and everyone’s share and still should be left out with 32

after 1st Round of game
S loses and is out with 32 and doubles the others share
V = 2x U = 2y T = 2z

After 2nd Round of game
T loses and is out with 32 and doubles the others share
V = 4x U = 4y
This means T had 2z = 2x + 2y + 32
After 3rd round of game
U looses and is out with 32 and doubles others share
V = 8x
This means U initially has 4y = 4x + 32
In the end V = 8x = 32

Solving this we get x = 4, y = 12, z = 32 and w = 80
There fore Suvarna had highest share in the beginning

let the no be x
then given that the difference between the number and 3/5th
of the number is 50
therefor , x-3/5x=50
2x=250
x=125 is the answer
