Simple.

First take water in 5L jar and fill the 8L jar.

Again repeat the process.

The 8L jar which is holding 5L water in step 1 begins to overflow after being filled with extra 3L of water in step 2.

The water that overflows when collected will measure exactly 2L or if you are patient enough,fill upto brim of 8L jar in step 2.

The water that now remains in the 5L jar would be 2L correctly.

How do you measure 8 liter water from 5 liter and 3 liter jar?

Here's a step-by-step solution: Fill up the 5-liter jar completely with water. Pour the water from the 5-liter jar into the 3-liter jar until the 3-liter jar is full. Now, you are left with 2 liters of water in the 5-liter jar. Empty the 3-liter jar. Pour the 2 liters of water from the 5-liter jar into the 3-liter jar. Fill up the 5-liter jar again. Pour enough water from the 5-liter jar into the 3-liter jar to fill it completely (this will take 1 liter). Now, you are left with 4 liters of water in the 5-liter jar, which gives you the required 8 liters of water.


How to get 6 liters of volume in the bigger jar when we have 7 liters and 5 liters capacity jars with us.?

7, 5 Liter jars 7, 0 = fill 7 liters jar 2, 5 = transfer to the 5 liters jar 2, 0 = emtry the 5 liters jar 0, 2 = transfter to 5 liters jar 7, 2 = fill in the 7 liter jar 4, 5 = transfer 7 liter to 5 liter jar 4, 0 = emtry to 5 liters jar 0, 4 = transfer to 5 liters jar 7, 4 = fill in 7 liter jar 6, 5 = transfer 7 liter to 5 liter jar Fill the 7 liter jar and tip into the 5liter jar. you now have 2 litres in the 7 liter jar, empty the 7 liter and tip the 2 liters into the 5liter jar. Fill the 7liter and tip into 5 liter, you now have 4 liters in the 7 liter jar, empty the 5 liter jar and put 4liters from 7 liter jar into it. Again fill the 7 liter jar, 1 more liter will fill the 5 liter jar so empty the 7 liter into the 5 liter, 6liters left in the 7 liter jar;-)

How do you measure 5 liters using three containers 2 liter 6 liter 8 liter?

You cannot. Each of the three containers has a capacity of an even number of litres. Their sums and differences will always be even. There is, therefore, no way to measure out an odd number of litres using them.


Bobby has a 5 liter container and a 3 liter container and an unlimited supply of water How can he measure out exactly 4 liters?

You have to have something else to build the 4 liters into. Call it The Tub.Fill the 5.Pour the 5 into the 3.That leaves 2 liters in the 5.Pour them into The Tub. You now have 2 liters in The Tub.Empty the 3.Fill the 5.Pour the 5 into the 3.That leaves 2 liters in the 5.Pour them into The Tub. You now have 4 liters in The Tub.QEDYou do not have a TUB, it is not in the problem.Fill the 5 liter containerPour it into the 3 liter container leaving 2 liters in the 5 liter containerEmpty the 3 liter containerPour the 2 liters from the 5 liter container into the 3 liter containerFill the 5 liter containerFill the remainder of the 3 liter container from the 5 liter containerSince the 3 liter container already had 2 liters in it, one liter from the 5 liter container will fill it leaving 4 liters in the 5 liter container.Solved

We have three jars one of 12-liter one 7-liter and one 5-liter. The 12-liter jar is full of water and the 7-liter with the 5-liter jar are empty. How do you get 6 liters of water using the two jars?

1)Transfer 7 liters from the 12-liter jar into the 7-liter jar.We now have 5 liters in the 12-liter jar and 7 liters in the 7-liter jar. The 5-liter jar is empty, as of now.2)Transfer 5 liters from the 7-liter jar into the 5-liter jar.The 12-liter, 7-liter, 5-liter jars now contain 5, 2 and 5 liters respectively.3)Empty the contents of the 5-liter jar into the 12-liter jar.The 12, 7, 5- liter jars now contain 10, 2 and 0 liters respectively.4)From the 7-liter jar, take out 5 liters and pour 7 liters from the 12-liter jar into the 7-liter jar.We now have 3 liters in the 12-liter jar and 7 in the 7-liter one, while the 5-liter jar has only two liters in it.5)Fill up the remainder of the 5-liter jar using the 7-liter jar.That leaves us with 3 liters on the 12-liter jar and 4 liters in the 7-liter jar. The 5-liter jar is full.6)Pour the contents of the 5-liter jar into the 12-liter jar.There are 8 liters in the 12-liter jar and 4 liters in the 7-liter jar, while the 5-liter jar is empty.7)Pour the 4 liters that are in the 7-liter jar into the 5-liter jar.We now have 8 liters in the 12-liter jar and 4 liters in the 5-liter jar. The 7-liter jar is empty.8)Fill the 7-liter jar using the 12-liter jar.There is now only 1 liter in the 12-liter jar and 7 liters in the 7-liter jar and 4 liters in the 5-liter jar.9)Fill up the 5-liter jar using the 7-liter jar.There is now 1 liter in the 12-liter jar and 6 liters in the 7-liter jar and 5 in the 5-liter jar.NOTE: This might not be the only way, or the shortest way to do it.

How do you measure 4 liters with 5 and 7 liter containers?

Notes: There is most likely a more efficient way to do this, but this is the best I can do for now.Notation: ( x , y ) where x is the amount of water in the 5-liter container and y is the amount of water in the 7-liter container1. Fill the five-liter container ( 5 , 0 )2. Pour the five-liter container into the seven-liter container ( 0 , 5 )3. Fill the five-liter container ( 5 , 5 )4. Fill the seven-liter container with the five-liter container, leaving 3 liters in the five-liter container ( 3 , 7 )5. Pour out the seven-liter container ( 3 , 0 )6. Pour the five-liter container into the seven-liter container ( 0 , 3 )7. Fill the five-liter container ( 5 , 3 )8. Fill the seven-liter container with the five-liter container, leaving 1 liter in the five-liter container ( 1 , 7 )9. Pour out the seven-liter container ( 1 , 0 )10. Pour the five-liter container into the seven-liter container ( 0 , 1 )11. Fill the five-liter container ( 5 , 1 )12. Pour the five-liter container into the seven-liter container ( 0 , 6 )

How do you measure exactly 2 liters using a 4 liter and 5 liter jug?

-fill 5L pour into 7L -fill 5L pour into 7L so that the 7L is now full 5L jar has 3L and 7L has 7L -empty 7L -pour the 3L from the 5 into the 7 -fill 5L pour into 7L so that the 7L is now full 5L jar has 1L and 7L is full -fill 5L (again!) pour into 7L 7L jar now has 6L -fill the 5L jar and pour into the 7L jar so that it is full -since 1L is poured from 5L there is 4L remaining in it. these water pouring questions work by the remainder when multiples of the smaller container are divided by the larger container (that's why the procedure is so repetitive!)

How do you measure 4 liters water from two 3 liter jar?

I don't think you can unless they have graduations. The riddle i remember involved 2 different sized jars.The classic puzzle is done using two different sized vessels, as seen in the movie Die Hard: With a Vengeance. But you can do it easier with two same sized jars, even without gradients.First, fill one jar to the top and pour it into the receptacle. Then fill it again. Pour twice as much liquid from the full jar into the empty jar, comparing them side by side. When two thirds is in the second jar, dump the remainder of the first jar into the receptacle. Voila! four liters.
