let x be lenghth of candles.

thicker one—- in 1 hr 1/6th will go.
thinner one— in 1 hr 1/4th will go.

let he lit for n hrs.

so in n hrs thicker one goes n/6.
and thinner one goes n/4.

so remainini length are x-n/6 and x-n/4.so x-n/6=2(x-n/4)
implie n=3x. if x=1 n=3hrs.

B. 26.67
C. 38.32
D. 40
Recent Answer : Added by memo On 2023-01-10 14:35:10:

Since the total train length passed the tunnel so the distance would be the length of train added to the tunnel legth
D=150+300=450 mt.
speed = distance/time
speed = 450/(40.5/3600)
speed =40,000 mt/sec

Ques:- A 6 inch length cylindrical through hole is drilled through the center of sphere, what will be the remaining volume of sphere ?

In this question only one data is given ie., hole length - 6". In the question there is no mistake.
Find the answer.
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2020-05-17 12:05:14:

volume of a sphere is 4/3 * pi * r^3
by drilling a hole 6 inches long the volume of the sphere is
not affected bcos the hole is a 1 dimension quantity..(say a
straight line) n so it does not have any value w.r.t volume…
hence the volume of the sphere does not change..
