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.
QED
You do not have a TUB, it is not in the problem.
Fill the 5 liter container
Pour it into the 3 liter container leaving 2 liters in the 5 liter container
Empty the 3 liter container
Pour the 2 liters from the 5 liter container into the 3 liter container
Fill the 5 liter container
Fill the remainder of the 3 liter container from the 5 liter container
Since 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.
