Again fill 5 litre jar and pour it to 8 litre which already contain 5 litre. now jar level 8 2 0.
empty the 8 liter jar.
Now fill another 5 litre and pour to the 8 litre now jar level is 5 2 0
again fill 5 litre jar and pour to the 8 litre now jar level is 8 2 2
then combine both 5 litre jar in any one of 5 litre jar
now jar level is 8 4 0
consider the 4 litre jar and fill the same quantity of milk to another jar. now all 3 jar will be filled with 4litre.
