Solution:

As per the question, in the beginning
A = 0
B = 0
C = 5
D = 5

Pouring C into B
A = 0
B = 4
C = 1
D = 5

Pouring half of B into C
A = 0
B = 2
C = 3
D = 5

Pouring D into A
A = 3
B = 2
C = 3
D = 2

Pouring A into B
A = 1
B = 4
C = 3
D = 2

Pouring half of B into D
A = 1
B = 2
C = 3
D = 4

Hence we have achieved what was asked.

Solution:

They used square manhole covers in Baker Street. As the side is smaller than the diagonal of the square, they were prone to fall when twisted. However the manhole covers were round shaped in Crawford Street making them impossible to fall inside.

Solution:

Step1 -> Start running both the hourglasses.
Step2 -> When 4 hours hourglass runs out, turn it over.
Step3 -> When 7 hours hourglass runs out, turn it over.
Step4 -> Again when 4 hours hourglass runs out, turn 7 minute hourglass over (it was running for exactly one minute.)
final step -> 8 minute already passed and allow one minute of 7 hour glass to get over. ==>9 minute

Solution:

240

40 { diff 20 + 12 =>32 add to it}
72 { diff 32 + 12 =>44 add to it}
116 { diff 44 + 12 =>56 add to it}
172 { diff 56 + 12 =>68 add to it}
240

Solution:

The first one cannot be aishwarya, because that would make the first one a liar. The second one cannot be aishwarya for the same reason. So, the third sister must be aishwarya. This means the middle one is kareena and the only one left is katrina.

Solution:

Steps:
* Start both sand measuring glasses at the same time.
* You flip over the small sand hourglass when it finishes the first 5 hours.
* Flip over the large one when it finishes its first 7 hours.
* When the small sand hourglass runs to 10 hours, flip over the small and large sand hourglass at the same time. It means the large sand hourglass will run 3 hours again. When the large sand hourglass run to 13 hours (7 + 3 + 3), flip both the small and large sand hourglass over again to run another 3 hours.

Solution:

1. Start both the 7 minute hour glass & 11 minute hour glass.
2. Wait till the 7 minute hour glass times out. Time is 7 minute!
3. Restart the 7 minute hour glass. At this time 11 minute hour glass will have 4 minutes left to time out.
4. As soon as 11 minute glass times out invert the 7 minute hour glass. Total time now is 11 minutes.
5. After inverting 7 minute hour glass, it will now have 4 minutes left for time out.
6. After these 4 minutes times out, the total time is 15 minutes.
