Does anyone has a proof of the formula for problem C, the time T that the two flames meet is expressed as follows:
Thanks

Assume that left and right flame meet at point x , and the time in which left flame reaches the point x is the same time right flame takes . T[l] = T[r] = t , and total time it will take to burn complete system is T* which is summation of A[i] / B[i] , and now 2*t = T = > t = T/2
The main idea is that we can change the burning speed of all the fuses equal to 1. By doing this the new length of any ith fuse becomes (Ai/Bi) that is its length/speed.
suppose we call new length as upgraded length.
Now the problem reduces to a simpler problem that all the fuses has burning speed 1 and length equal to (Ai/Bi). Due to equal burning speed the two flames will meet at half of the total upgraded distance.
Hence , the given equation is proved.
I have tried my best to explain it :)
