3 hours ago.

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

Recent Answer : Added by vivin On 2022-03-09 16:46:02:

assume the ratio 6:4 to be 60:40
boys taking lunch in canteen=60% of 60=36
Girls taking lunch in the canteen=40% of 40=16
Total boys and girls taking lunch in the canteen=52
Total students we assumed is 60+40=100
Therefore percentage of boys and girls taking lunch in the canteen=(52/100)*100=52%
