with an unlimited water supply.
Then you are asked to measure exactly 5 liters of water using them.

How will you do it?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

–  Fill completely the 4-liter jar,

–  Empty it in the 6-liter jar.

– Now again fill it, we have now 4-liter in each.

– Empty these jar at the same rate into the 2-liter jar, this way there will be 1-liter deducted from each of them.

– These jars now have 3-liter each…empty it in 8-liter jar and add the 2liter liquid.

Sums to 5-liter.
