One factory has 10 machines. Each machine makes a ball of 100 gms each. Suddenly one machine starts making ball of 99 gms.

Riddles is: - using weighing machine only once, you have to find out the defective machine. You can put any number of balls for weighing at a time but you are allowed to weigh only once. i.e. you may put 100 balls for weighing, but you have to find out defective machine by weighing only once.

  4. if you had quality control management this wouldnt happen

  5. i dont get it i dont understand if you know how to explane it better please send it to me at habhooby1916@yahoo.com thanx

  6. Yes. Gather one ball from machine one and two balls from machine two and three balls from machine three and so on.

    After you weigh the balls you look for how many grams short of the expected amount you have. If you are 1 gram short, the defective machine is machine 1. If  you are 2 grams short, the defective machine is machine 2, and so on.

  7. Randomly remove 1 ball from each machine and write a # on ea.1-10

    now you have 10 balls = 1000gms.theoretically ,actually have 999gms.

    pick up 1 ball at a time till u get 900 even, and the # on the ball will ID mach.

  8. too boring
