On the shelf you have 10 identical bottles of identical
pills (let?s say there?s a hundred pills in each bottle).
However, one of those 10 bottles contains cheap knockoff
pills. The only way to differentiate fake pills from real
pills is the weight - while real pills weigh 1 g each, the
knockoff pills are only 0.9 g. You have one scale that
shows the exact weight (down to the mg) of whatever is
weighed.

How can you tell which bottle contains fake pills with just
1 weighing?

Answer Posted / ilakya

first name the bottles and keep all the bottles on the
scale so that it makes the sum of all the bottles if one is
less u could find out which one by its name
