The 2 measuring jars when full to its brim with water contains
exactly 5 litres and 3 litres. The water used for this exercise is
plentiful and you can fill up, pour it out and fill up again. Show me
how you can measure exactly 3 litres of water in one of the jars
by using the 2 measuring jars of 5 litre and 3 litre capacities. The
first person who show me correctly in detail will get 10 points from me.

Fill the 5L jug and pour the water into the 3L jug until it's full. You now have 3L in the 3L jug and 2L left in the 5L jug.

Empty the 3L jug and pour the 2L into it so the 5L jug is empty.

Now fill the 5L jug again, and pour water from it into the 3L jug until it's full. You started with 2L in the 3L jug, so filling it up requires 1L. Since that 1L came from the 5L jug, there is now 4L left in the 5L jug.

Viola!

fill the 3 litre jar. pour it into the 5 litre jar until that jar is half full. you now have 2.5 in the 5 litre jar. fill the 3 litre jar half full. that will be 1. 5 litres. pour that into the 5 litre jar that has 2.5 in it. 2.5 plus 1.5 equals 4 litres

--You have to fill the 5.0 liter container and transfer the water into the 3.0 liter container until it fills up. Then yo have 2 liters left in the 5 liter and 3 liters in 3 liter container.
--Next you have to empty the 3.0 liter container and pour the 2.0 liters into it until the 5.0 liter container is empty.
--Fill the 5.0 liter container again carefully not spilling any water, and transport water from it into the 3.0 liter container until it's full. Remember, you started with 2.0 liters in the 3.0 liter container, so filling it up requires only 1.0 liter. The 1.0 liter came from the 5.0 liter container, there is now 4.0 liter left in the 5.0 liter container.
--That's all there is to it.
