Answer / hemant joshi
hey .. the ques is wrong.. you have to specify wheather the
plate is havier or lighter.... then only it can be done
using weighing machine twice ..... or if you are not
mentioning that the odd one is heavier or lighter, means it
can either be heavier or lighter then you need to use the
machine atleast thrice..

Answer / shravanthy
divide into 3 plates each
weigh two groups of 3 plates each on either plate of the
balance...if the plates are in d same level it means the
plate of different weight is in the third group......so take
the third group of plates.....select any 2 and weigh
them...again if u get equal weights the different one can b
spotted easily,and if weights are unequal for sure you cab
identify too!
if the first 2 group of plates had different weights then u
can identify d plate of different weight in a group.....then
repeat the same procedure...take any 2 weigh and find out

100 Gold Coins Five pirates have obtained 100 gold coins and have to divide up the loot. The pirates are all extremely intelligent, treacherous and selfish (especially the captain). The captain always proposes a distribution of the loot. All pirates vote on the proposal, and if half the crew or more go "Aye", the loot is divided as proposed, as no pirate would be willing to take on the captain without superior force on their side. If the captain fails to obtain support of at least half his crew (which includes himself), he faces a mutiny, and all pirates will turn against him and make him walk the plank. The pirates start over again with the next senior pirate as captain. What is the maximum number of coins the captain can keep without risking his life?
