Puzzle - 2 ropes to measure 45 minutes - Answer

You will light up both the ends of rope 1 and one end of rope 2.

When the rope 1 is finished burning, then you would light the other end of rope 2 as well.

So, rope 1 will finish burning exactly after 30 minutes and it will take 15 more minutes for rope 2 to finish burning.
