You have 8 balls. One of them is defective and weighs less
than others. You have a balance to measure balls against
each other. In 2 weighings how do you find the defective
one?
Answer Posted / b.r>madhududan
CASE 1: First we should take six balls divided equally and
then it is placed on the two pans.three on one and three on
other..
if the two pans are balanced then the defective ball is not
in the six..then we should the two and keep them one ball
on each.
CASE2: Again We should take any of the six balls and
divided equally and then it is placed on the two pans.. if
any of the pan weighs less than the other.. We should take
the three balls seperately..Now from that three we should
take any two and placed one on each.. fi both the pan
balances the ball which is left over is the defective.. if
one ball weighes less than the other,while keeping one on
each,then it is the defective one....
