Bottle Thanks
Boris A
Answer:
Five
glasses balance one
bottle.
Explanation: In
B, notice
that one bottle
balances one plate and one glass. Adding
one glass to each
scale will not disturb the balance. D
indicates that 1 bottle and 1
glass balance two glasses and one plate.
Look
at A
and D.
The jug weighs the same as
one plate and two glasses.
C
indicates that two jugs
balance three plates. In
E,
remove two plates from each
side of the balance. We
now have one plate
balancing four glasses. In
B,
remove one plate and
substitute four glasses.
