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

According to the question:
⇒(x+5)(y−10)=300
⇒xy+5y−10x−50=xy
⇒5×300−10x−50=0
⇒−150+x2+5x=0
⇒x2+15x−10x−150=0
⇒x(x+15)−10(x+15)=0
⇒x=10 or −15
Price cannot be negative
So, As x>0,x=10.

Ques:- A computer shop consists 3 brands laptop. Laptop of brand A is sold 3/16, B is sold 1/16 and C is sold 3/4 then what fraction is sold by the shop in all.
Recent Answer : Added by jay On 2022-08-14 16:45:19:
Answer: 1 / 3
Lets say each brand had 16 laptops
So Sold : A = 3 , B= 1 and C = 12 , total sold: 16 ,
Since each brand has 16 , total = 48
so 16/ 48 = 1/3 is the sold fraction

Ques:- 3 runs required is 3 balls to win the match only on wicket left,the batsman is on 97 and runner on 98. how will both batsman score centuries as well as win the match?
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2022-09-27 18:46:51:
The batsman on 98 is on strike. He hits the ball and they run 3. UNFORTUNATELY one of the batsmen doesn`t turn correctly for one of the runs and the umpire calls ONE SHORT and awards only two runs. Therefore the first batsman has his century. There is now 1 ball remaining and one run is required to win. The batsman on strike, however is now the one on 97 runs. He now either hits a 4 or a 6. They win the game and both batsmen scored centuries.
