You have three water jugs, which
can hold 8, 5 and 3 litres of water respectively. The 8 litres jug is full, and
the other two are empty.
Divide the water into 4
& 4 litres without using other jugs?
Answer:
Firstly fill 5 litres of
jug from 8 litres.
Empty the 5 liter jug into the 3 liter jug
- leaving 2 litres in the 5 litres jug.
Empty 3litres jug into
8litres jug. Now 8 liters jug have 6 litres water.
Empty the 5 litre jug into
3 litres jug. Now 3 litres jug have 2 litres water because 5 litre jug have
only 2 litres water.
Again, fill 5 litres of
jug from 8 litres.
Fill 1 litre water into 3 litre jug-leaving 4 litres
in the 5 litre jug.
Again, empty 3litres
jug into 8litres jug.
Now 8 & 5 litres
jug have 4, 4 litres water.
