First we fill 3 ltr tank and pour it into 5 ltr tank..
Now 5ltr tank has 3 ltr water and 3ltr tank has 0ltr.
Now again fill 3ltr tank and put it into 5 ltr. tank and 5 ltr. tank is full now nd we r left wid 1ltr water in 3ltr. tank.
Now empty 5ltr tank and put 1ltr water in it that is left in 3 ltr tank.
Status is : 5ltr tank=1ltr water and 3ltr=empty
Now fill 3 ltr tank and put it into 5 ltr tank..
So this way we have 4 ltr water in tank..
