Beauty of Mathematics and Mathematical expertise

really amazing..............

AMAZING......................

You have a drum of water and a 3 ltrs jar and a 5 ltrs jar.

The jars have no markings on the sides.

How would you be able to take out exactly one ltr of water?

nice  thanx for sharing even though i had seen such postings

I am not an expert in mathematics let me try ur puzzle

you pour 4 ltr of water in a 5 ltr jar and by using that 3 ltr jar we can take exactly one litre of water this is how my idea worked you give answer later let others also participate and give their views on the same

NICE QUESTION

I WOULD LIKE TO ANSWER THIS

just fill up 5 ltrs jar,

then use the same to fill up 3 ltrs jar

now, we have 3 ltrs of water in 3 ltrs jar and 2ltrs  left in 5 ltrs jar

now just empty 3 ltrs jar and divide 2 ltrs of water of 5 ltrs jar equal in 3 ltrs jar & 5ltrs jar

u would get 1 liter  water in 3ltrs jar & 1 liter water in 5 ltrs jar

in short , i mean

5-3=2 litre water

2/2=1 litre water

 gud efforts, but how u will measure 4 ltrs for pouring in 5 ltrs jar.

uma ji,

also gud efforts 

but how to devide the water exactly in two part.

hey i got the answer

just wait for my next post

fill up 3 ltrs jar , empty it in 5 ltrs jar

again fill up 3 ltrs jar, empty it again on 5 ltrs jar

u will find 1 litre of water left in 3 ltrs jar

in short

3*2=6

6-5=1

uma nice reply ithink the second post is the perfect answer

really Uma,

u got it.

 By looking at the height of jars one can find out whether it is 3 ltr or 5 ltr this is how i thought any way uma seems to have given correct answer in the second post
