Question

There are 24 kg of nails in a sack. Can you measure 9 kgs using only a balance with two pans ? Is it possible to
measure 11 kgs?

Answer 1

Put about half of nails on each side and perform fine adjustments until balance is achieved. This means that each side now has 12 kilos and one side can now be removed and separated. For remaining 12 kilos on one side, move about half to other side and perform fine adjustments until balance is achieved again. Each side will now have 6 kilos and thus remove other side with a 6-kilo group . Now again divide it in 3-3. Thus, we can now measure 9kg.

But we need 3 pans hence it is not possible. 11kg is also not possible to measure
