If the weighing tool is a digital measurement (not a balance instrument). My answer is 1 try.
My solution:
First you must collect the necessary balls from each box in an order like this:
collect 1 ball from box 1
collect 2 balls from box 2
collect 3 balls from box 3
collect 4 balls from box 4 &
collect 5 balls from box 5
Total balls you have collected is 15 balls.
To determine which box contains the 90 grm balls, you must
weigh all the 15 balls in the digital measurement. If the
result of measurement is:
5*90 + 100*10 then the answer is the 5th box
4*90 + 100*11 then the answer is the 4th box
3*90 + 100*12 then the answer is the 3rd box
2*90 + 100*13 then the answer is the 2nd box
1*90 + 100*14 then the answer is the 1st box

Answer / paul
Minimum is 1 try and maximum is 2 tries. That is, assuming that all boxes contain same quantity of coins each.
verify...
First, lets label the boxes a,b,c,d and e.
Then measure and balance a+b if equals to c+d.
Condition 1
If the 4 boxes balanced, then box e has the 90gm coins. Thus, answering promptly with only 1 try (Minimum).
Condition 2
If (a+b) < (c+d), then it can be observed that either box a or b has the 90 gm coins. Thus, balancing again box a vs b will give you the box with the 90 gm coins, that is, with the lower weight between the 2 boxes. Thus, obtaining the answer with 2 tries.
Condition 2
If (a+b) > (c+d), then it can be observed that either box c or d has the 90 gm coins. Thus, balancing box c against box d will give you the box with the 90 gm coins, that is, with the lower weight between the 2 boxes. Thus, obtaining the answer with 2 tries.

Answer / sameer k
answer :::min 2 and max 3
calc weight of 3 box, there are 2 condition
condition 1(min 2)>>if the weight of 3 boxes is (90*3)270
then, take any 1 box from other 2boxes
calc weight is weight
condition 2(max 3)>>if weight of 3 boxes is greater than 270
that means among 3 boxes there is a box whose
weight is greater than 90, then calc the weight of any 2
from them if egals 180 then third box weight is 100gm

When Alexander the Great attacked the forces of Porus, an Indian soldier was captured by the Greeks.

They told him, "If you tell a lie, you will put to the sword, and if you tell the truth you will be hanged." The soldier could make only one statement. He made that statement and went free. What did he say?

Given a sequence of integers, there are a few sequences which result in balanced binary search trees i.e., AVL trees. Write a program that takes a sequence of integers as input and outputs the number of such sequences that result in the balanced binary search trees. Input Format: Single line contains sequence of integers terminated by -1. Output format: Print the number of AVL tree possible from that input sequence. Sample Input: 1 2 3 -1 Sample Output: 2
