Given,
A person uses one candle per night to study.
He collects an unused portion of 3 candles to make another candle and light it.
To Find,
How many days would 29 candles last?
Solution,
As given here are 29 candles, so a total of 29 days will last.
Also in those days per day, some portions of candles will remain,
From that, in 3days we can make a new candle.
After 29days there will be a total of 9 candles and 2 unused candles also .
Now those 9 candles will burn for 9 days and the left part will remain again.
Those parts can make 3 other candles.
Which will burn again for 3 days and remains will make a new candle.
Now, this candle will burn for 1 day. The remained portion will be added with the previous 2 used portions to form a candle.
This candle will burn for 1 day.
So the total count will be 29+9+3+1+1=43.
Hence, those 29 candles will last for 43 days.
