Burn the one candle from both side and burn the second candle from only one side. This will take only half an hour to burn the one candle fully. Since One candle takes one hour to burn fully.

In this way you have counted half an hour.Now burn the remaining second half candle from both end this will take 15 minutes.

This way you have counted 45 Minutes.
