Well, honey, you can fill up the 5 liter jug, pour it into the 7 liter jug, fill up the 5 liter jug again, and pour it into the 7 liter jug until it's full. That leaves you with 3 liters in the 5 liter jug. Voila, you've measured out 4 liters using those jugs. Easy peasy lemon squeezy!
To measure 4 liters of water using a 7-liter and a 5-liter bucket, you can follow these steps: Fill the 5-liter bucket to the top and pour it into the 7-liter bucket, leaving 2 liters in the 5-liter bucket. Empty the 7-liter bucket and pour the remaining 2 liters from the 5-liter bucket into the 7-liter bucket. Fill the 5-liter bucket again and pour it into the 7-liter bucket, which already has 2 liters, making it a total of 4 liters in the 7-liter bucket.
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.

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;-)
