Question 9

Let us Explore

Tricky balls 

1. Montu poses a puzzle to his friends: 

3 balls look similar in size. One of them is heavier and 2 balls are equal in weight. You have only a pan-balance and no weights. Using the 3 balls and the pan-balance, can you identify which is the heavy ball? 

a) How many times will you have to weigh? 

b) Use the balance only one time and tell which is the heavy ball.

Answer:

a. You need to weigh only once to identify the heavier ball.

b. Weigh any two balls against each other on the pan balance:

If they balance out (equal weight), the third ball, which was not weighed, is the heavier one.

If they do not balance, the heavier ball will be on the side that tips down.

2. There are three same-sized balls of different weights and colours: Red, Orange and Green. You can use the pan balance for it but cannot use weights.

How will you find which one is the heaviest and which one is the lightest?

Answer:

I. Weigh the Red ball against the Orange ball:

If one is heavier, set it aside as a potential heaviest. The other is lighter.

If they balance, both are of equal weight.

II. Weigh the heavier ball (from Step 1) against the Green ball:

If the Green ball is heavier, it's the heaviest, and the other is the middle-weight.

If the Green ball is lighter, the ball from Step 1 is the heaviest, and the Green ball is the lightest.
