Now start both the hour glasses after 8 min 2nd hour glass
will be empty(8min passed) and 1st hour glass have 5 min
left now invert the 2nd hour glass and let pass the
remaining 5 min left in 1st glass(8+5=13min passed)and at
the same time compare it with 2nd glass now we know with
passing of 5 min in first glass there is 3 min left in 2nd
glass because we have inverted and 5 min left in down
portion now again invert the 2nd glass then the 5 min will
pass so 8+5+5=18min.Thanks.
