Here's how to proceed:
- Fill container B with 3 liters.
- Pour the 3 liters from container B into container A.
- Fill container B again with 3 liters.
- Carefully pour from container B into container A, until container A is full.
Container A already had 3 liters, so it only takes 2 more liters to fill it to 5 liters, leaving 1 liter remaining in container B.
