We have 10 identical bottles of identical pills (each bottle contain hundred of pills). Out of 10 bottles 9 have 1 gram of pills but 1 bottle has pills of weight of 1.1 gram. Given a measurement scale, how would you find the heavy bottle? You can use the scale only once.

Solution (By Examveda Team)

See for first one we take one pill from 1st bottle two from 2nd bottle and so on till ten from 10th bottle and put all at once for weight suppose fifth bottle is faulty then weight would come 55.5
(1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10) + faulty 0.1 x bottle number
