Q. There are two containers out of which one contains exactly 16 liters of water and the other contains exactly 9 liters of water. There is no measuring mark on the containers. Using only the two containers determine how to bring 6 liters of water from a pond

• First fill the 9L container and empty it into 16L container. Again fill 9L container and fill the 16L container completely. Now 9L container has 2 litres. Empty the 16L container and pour 2 litres into it. Again fill 9L container and empty it into 16L container. The 16L container has now 11 litres. Once again fill 9L container and fill 16L container completely from it. 4 litres are left in 9L container. Again empty the larger container and pour 4 litres from 9L to 16L. Fill 9L and empty it into 16L. 16L container has now 13 litres. Lastly fill 9L and completely fill 16L from it. 3 litres go into larger container and 6 litres remain in 9L container.
