You are given two candles of equal size, which can burn 1 hour each. You have
to measure 90 minutes with these candles. (There is no scale or clock). Also u r

• First light up the two ends of the 1st candle. When it will burn out light up one end of the second candle. (30+60=90)

• Both candle light up at the same time but in opposite face and should parallel to each other, when both candle light will be in same line (30 min) then turn off any one candle, so the lighting candle will burn next (30 min) after that light up half unburnt candle and it will also (30 min) long lasting. so total timing is 30+30+30=90 mint.
