5 Liter Measuring Puzzle

Solution
Information provided:
- We have 4 jars of water.
- Size of jars = 2 L, 4 L, 6 L, and 8 L.
- Water supply is unlimited.
Step 1:
We have 4 jars, of different size.
First we need to fill the 4-Liter jar completely.
Now, empty it in the 6-Liter jar. Now, 4 liter jar is empty and6 Liter jar is filled upto 4 liter.
Fill the 4 liter jar again. after that now we have 4 liter water in both the jars i.e., 4 liters and 6 liters respectively.



Step 2:
Now take both the 4 liter and 6 liter jar, and pour both of them into 2 liter empty jar at same rate.
Now, as we are emptying both the jar at same rate, so now the 2 liter jar will be filled completely, and the 4 liter and 6 liter jar will be now containing 3 liters each.
Step 3:
Now use any 4 liter or 6 liter jar which have 3 liters of water and use 2 liter jar filled with water and empty it in 8 liter jar.
Now the 8 liter jar have the 5 liters of water in it.
