ans-4
13 13 1 =27 ,weight 13 and 13 and put 1 apart.
6 6 1 =13
3 3 =6
1 1 1 =3
step1=>take 13 13 ball and weight if both have same weight then remaining ball will be less weight ball. if not then take lower weight of 13 ball;
and divide it into 6 6 1.
step 2=>take 6 6 ball and weight if both have same weight then remaining ball will be less weight ball. if not then take lower weight of 6 ball;
