Ques:- There are 9 balls of equal size and same weight(they look similar) except 1. How many weights required to find the dissimilar ball using a weighing balance?
Recent Answer : Added by G Dinesh On 2023-06-10 18:20:22:

Here is the solution to the given version of the puzzle (9 balls, one is heavier, need to identify oddball), where we label the balls A, B, …, I:

1. Weigh ABC versus DEF.

Scenario a: If these (1) balance, then we know the oddball is one of G, H, I.

2. Weigh G versus H.

Scenario a.i: If these (2) balance, the oddball is I.

Scenario a.ii: If these (2) do not balance, the heavier one is the oddball.

Scenario b: If these (1) do not balance, then the oddball is on the heavier side. For simplicity, assume the ABC side is heavier, so the oddball is one of A, B, C.

2. Weigh A versus B.

Scenario b.i: If these (2) balance, the oddball is C.

Scenario b.ii: If these (2) do not balance, the heavier one is the oddball.

answer is maximum of 2.

Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2020-05-17 12:03:23:

say the work is w and let no of days taken by b is ‘x’ which
we have to calculate
so work done by a in one day is w/6
work done by b in one day is w/x
a and b together can do work in 4 days ie=(w/6)+(w/x)=(w/4)
solving equation x=12
so no of days taken by b=12

Recent Answer : Added by shadow of lo On 2022-03-09 16:33:24:

Pfull = 4 Hrs; Qfull = 5 Hrs
Assume velocity Vp = x then Vq = 4/5 x –> avg velocity = (5/5 + 4/5) / 2 = 0.9
If fastest time = 4hrs then the time it would take to fill up tank by alternating is 4/0.9 = 4.44 Hrs
