Question

Answer this riddle : I am tall when I am young ,I am short when I am old. What am I ?

Answer 1

This riddle can have two possible answers, either a candle or a pencil.

The puzzle states that 'I am tall when I am young.'

Which can be seen as when we buy a new candle or a pencil, they are unused.

Therefore the tallest they'll ever be an 'I am short when I am old' suggests that after we've used the candle or the pencil, they tend to become shorter with every use when we light a candle or when we sharpen a pencil.

Answer 2

Explanation:

pencil or candle...
