0 Guest Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Fill the 7 liter jug with the 4 liter jug twice and letting the spill go to the desired container. So that is 4+4=8 - 7 = 1 liter. Then add another jugfull of the 4 liter jug totalling 5 liters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Empty 7L and transfer 1L of 4L to 7L jug. Again take 4 litre in 4L jug and pour it in 7L. 7L now has 5L water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
