We have 3 litre bucket and 5 litre bucket. With using these two only, how to measure 4 litres of water ??
Just we need to make proper use of buckets !!!!
1. Fill the 5 litre bucket completely.
2. Transfer the 5 litre water into 3 litre bucket.
3. As the 3 litre bucket is full, we are left with the 5 - 3 = 2 litre of water in 5 litre bucket.
4. Now empty the 3 litre bucket.
5. Pour back 2 litre of water left in the 5 litre bucket to 3 litre bucket.
6. Now we have 2 litre of water in 3 litre bucket.
7. 5 litre bucket is completely empty.
8. Now again completely fill 5 litre bucket.
9. We know that only 1 litre of water could be added to 3 litre bucket as it is already having 2 litres of water in it.
10. Pour the water from 5 litre bucket to 3 litre bucket till it becomes completely full.
11. Now we are left with 4 litre of water in 5 litre bucket !!!!
