You have three pots of different sizes; the larger pot can contain 8 litres, the mid-size pot can contain 5 litres, and the smaller pot can contain 3 litres. The larger pot contains 8 litres milk, the other two pots are empty. You have to divide the milk into equal halves – 4 litres each, using only these three pots as stated. You can pour/transfer milk from one pot to another pot any number of times (assuming that there is no loss of milk from one pot to another pot during any transfer). What is the minimum number of transfers (x) that you need so as to divide the total milk (i.e. 8 litres) into two equal halves – 4 litres and 4 litres?

• A. 4 < x < 6
• B. 6 < x < 8
• C. 8 < x < 10
• D. 5 < x < 7
