Factor dese
The factors of 9 are 1,3 and 9
Three factors althogether = an odd number of the factors

The factors of 10 are 1,2,5 and 10
Four factors altogether = an even number of the factors

How many numbers from 1 to 100 have an even number of factors?

What do the rest have in common?

Fill the 10 litre,pull it in the 7 ltr,the one in the 10l will remain 3l(10-7)=3.repeat it 3rice u ll av your 9lt.

Remember to used an extra bucket for putting the 3l each time u re renewing the process.

Here you are, just follow the steps below to arrive at the answer
1) Fill the 10ltr bucket with water first
2) Empty the contents of the 10ltr bucket into the 7ltr bucket. Now the 7ltr bucket will be filled, while 3ltr of water will be left in the other bucket.
3) Empty the 7ltrs bucket.
4) Pour the 3ltrs of water left in the 10ltr bucket into the 7ltr bucket. Now you'll have 3ltrs of water in the 7ltr bucket, with the other one empty.
5) Fill the 10ltr bucket.
6) Pour from the 10ltr bucket into the 7ltr bucket. Remember there is 3ltrs of water in it already, so 4ltrs extra is required to fill it up. And 4ltrs subtracted from the 10ltrs bucket of water will leave you with 6ltrs in it.
7) Empty the 7ltr bucket.
8. Pour the 6ltrs of water in the 10ltr bucket, into the 7ltr bucket. Now there will be 6ltrs of water in the 7ltr bucket, while the 10ltr bucket will be empty.
9) Now fill the 10ltr bucket with water.
10)Recall, there is already 6ltrs of water in the 7ltr bucket. So to just 1ltr of water is required to fill it up, and the 10 ltr bucket is filled with water, right? So all you have to do now is to fill the 7ltr bucket with water from the 10ltr bucket. In other words, 1 litre of water would have been removed from the 10litre bucket by the time the 7litre bucket is filled up...
Leaving you with exactly 9litres of water!
I must confess this got my brain racking after a long break! Glad I did justice to your cousin's project.
