Question

i have seven candle lit,2 below out , how many candles do i have left

Answer 1

Thanks for your question. it is interesting in a way that  the final solution being asked is how many candles left

If 2 candles blew out we are still left with 7 candles out of which 5 are lit and 2 candles that are extinguished.

But still there is catch, if those 5 candles are lit longer, they will melt and we will be left with 2 candles

Depending on when it is counted, we are left with either 7 or 2 candles

Hope it helped you :)

Answer 2

Hey there,

Total Number of candles lit = 7

Total blew out = 2

But the question is it demanding on the number of candles that are blew it still lit.
What questions demands is the total number of candles. And that is equal to = 7

So, total number of candles = 7

But if we have second logic then , we can say that out of 7 candles 5 were still lit so they will melt. And 2 will be left.

So, answer can be either 2 or 7.

Thanks!
