I would rather burn the first canlde for 1 hour completely, then I will light up the second candle from both the ends. It should take the second candle to burn completely in 30 mins from both ends.

Since each candle takes 60 mins to burn, total time taken to burn is 120 mins... But since we need to measure 1 1/2 hr which is 90 mins, it can be divided among the two candles in 45 mins each... so when they start burning simultaneously, each candle has to effectively burn for 45 mins i.e 45/60 = 3/4th... so when 3/4th portion is burnt we can say 90 mins has passed...
