QUESTION :

You were told to light a fire. You have been given kerosene oil, paper, candles, matchboxes and Yarn for this. Which will burn first?

• The answer to the above question is Matchboxes. It has an element of combustion that is used to light a fire.
  The reason is because the Kerosine oil can only be lighted on using the Matches stick. When you strike the Match stick it first ignite fire before it lights the Kerosine oil.

• Paper cannot catch a fire until the matches first strike up and ignites then when placed on the paper it starts to burn.

• The Candle will only light up if a matches is stricken up and from its fire the candle will light up.

• In the same vain the Yarn can only start up a fire when the Matches ignites and light up the yarn.
