First of all fill 3litre jar fullyand then pour it into
5litre jar.Now again fill 3litre jar fully and pour it into
5litre jarNow 5litre jar is full and 3litre jar has 1litre
water. Now pour all the water of 5litre jar on the ground
and pour the 3litre's jar 1 litre into 5 litre jar. Now
again fill 3litre jar fully and pour into 5litre jar .Now
5litre jar has 4litre water.

I think i got got bit more simpler solnn with lesser steps

1. Fill 5 ltr jar, pour it intoo 3 ltr till its full
2. Now 3 ltr jar is full n 5 ltr jar has 3 ltrs in it.
3. Empty 3 ltr jar, and pour 2 ltr in 3 ltr jar,, now 4 ltr has 3 ltrs in it and 5 ltr jar is empty
4. Fill 5 ltr jar and out of the 5ltr jar shift water in 3 ltr jar, since only 1 ltr can be tranferred into 3 ltr jar,,
the 5 ltr jar has 4 ltr water in it..
