why to waste too much of water?? Follow these: /* Initially 3quart jug and 5quart jug are empty */ 1. Fill 5 quart jug /* Now 3quart jug is empty and 5quart jug is full */ 2. Pour water from 5quart jug into empty 3quart jug. /* Now 3quart jug is full and 5quart jug has 2quart remaining in it */ 3. Now empty the 3quart jug. /* Now 3quart jug is empty and 5quart jug has 2quart remaining in it */ 4. Transfer all water from 5quart jug to 3 quart jug /* Now 5quart jug is empty and 3quart jug has 2quart remaining in it */ 5. Now again fill 5 quart jug. /* Now 5quart jug is full and 3quart jug has 2quart remaining in it */ 6. Pour water from 5quart jug to 3quart jug till it gets filled up. /* Now 5quart jug has 4quarts ( which s wat we need :) ) and 3quart jug is full (which is unnecessary) */
