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

1min = 60 seconds
6 min=6*60=360seconds
4 sec=10
360sec=360*10 /4=900

Assuming the youngest has X years, so we have
X+(X+3)+(X+6)+(X+9)+(X+12)=50
5X+30=50
5X=20
X=4
The youngest has 4 years

Answer: z and u

Explanation:

Y is to the right of U and exactly in front of V. Therefore,

U Y
V

Z is behind W and W and X are at extreme ends. So, W has to be to the right of Y. The final arrangement is as follows.
U Y W
X V Z Therefore, Z and U are at extreme ends is true.

let the total no of breads be x.

x- (x/2) – 1/2 – 1/2((x-1)/2) – 1/2 ….. so on.
ans is 31.
first ate : 15.5 + .5 = 16 remaining 15
second ate : 7.5+0.5 = 8 remaining 7.
third ate : 3.5 +0.5 = 4 remaining 3.
fourth ate : 1.5 + 0.5 = 2 remaining 1
fifth ate : 0.5 + 0.5 = 1 remaining 0
