ou are standing next to a well, and you have two jugs. One jug has a content of 3 liters and the other one has a content of 5 liters.
How can you get just 4 liters of water using only these two jugs?
Ans 1 : ill the 5-liter jug. Then fill the 3-liter jug to the top with water from the 5-liter jug. Now you have 2 liters of water in the 5-liter jug. Dump out the 3-liter jug and pour what is in the 5-liter jug into the 3-liter jug. Then refill the 5-liter jug, and fill up the 3-liter jug to the top. Since there were already 2 liters of water in the 3-liter jug, 1 liter is removed from the 5-liter jug, leaving 4 liters of water in the 5-liter jug.
