You have two empty gallons of 5litres and 3litres capacity. You also have unlimited supply of milk. How do you get exactly one litre using just those two gallons?

use the five litre first then pour it into the 3 litres gallon, then pour out the content, then empty the remaining two litres in the five litre gallon into the 3 litre, then use the 5 litre again and pour it into the 3 litres to fill it up which will make it 4 litres remaining in the 5 litres gallon, then empty the 3 litres gallon and measure out 3 litres out of the 4 litres remaining in the 5 litres gallon, then you'll have just 1 litre remaining in the 5 litres gallon

1) Fill the 3-litre gallon wit the milk, pour all the content of it into the 5litre gallon.. Now the 3-litre gallon is emptied

2) Fill the 3-litre gallon again wit 3litres of the milk, carefully transfer the content again into the 5-litre gallon.. When the 5litre gallon is full, then the volume of the milk left in the 3litre gallon is 1litre!


(3+3)-5 = 1litre.. QED
