listen
this is the case of optimisation....
if u take 4 balls set then u end up in 3 tries...
if u take 3 3 2 set...
then try and see
frst weight 3..3
u no the unbalanced one...
select that set and put any two random balls in both pans...
if equal the ball not put in is the ball of concern...

that can be done easily..
2 balls each in one pan...
thats it

weight is the Odd Ball

Q2) Paul the octopus who has been forecasting the outcome of FIFA world cup matches with tremendous accuracy has now been invited to predict ICC world cup matches in 2011. We will assume that the world cup contenders have been divided into 2 groups of 9 teams each. Each team in a group plays the other teams in the group. The top two teams from each group enter the semi finals ( after which the winner is decided by knockout). However, Paul has a soft spot for India and when India plays any team, Paul always backs India. Alas, his predictions on matches involving India are right only 2 out of 3 times. In order to qualify for the semi finals, it is sufficient for India to win 7 of its group matches. What is the probability that India will win the ICC world cup
