1) 4 and 5-liter bowls

Initially we have empty bowls(4 and 5 liter bowl). Now,

Fill 5-liter bowl, pour water from it to fill the 4-liter bowl.

Now make empty the 4-liter bowl.

Pour the remaining 1 liter to the 4-liter bowl.

Again fill the 5-liter bowl and then pour water from it to fill the 4-liter bowl(where there is already 1 liter). So, it need only 3 liters.

Now, we have exactly 2liters of water in the 5liter bowl.\\


2) 4 and 3-liter bowls

Initially we have empty bowls(3 and 4 liter bowl). Now,

Fill 4-liter bowl, pour water from it to fill the 3-liter bowl.

Now make empty the 3-liter bowl.

Pour the remaining 1 liter to the 3-liter bowl.

Again fill the 4-liter bowl and then pour water from it to fill the 3-liter bowl(where there is already 1 liter). So, it need only 2 liters.

Now, we have exactly 2liters of water in the 4liter bowl.\\ :)
