  1. - It is not bucket 4 - because pipe is blocked at where it connects to bucket 3.
    - It is not bucket 5 - because pipe is blocked at the outlet to bucket 5.
    - Answer is bucket 3.

    1. bucket 1 will get filled 1st then only it will transfer water to other buckets.

    2. Bucket 1will never fill as all water flows into bucket 3. The lower outlet from bucket 3 is blocked, so all water from bucket 3 flows from the upper outlet into bucket 5. Therefore bucket 5 fills first.

  2. (A) The openings for Buckets 4; 5; and 6 to get the supply of water are blocked and therefore do not have access to the supply of water. So they are out.
    (B) Now Buckets 1; 2; 3; and 7 have access to the flow of water.
    (C) Immediately Bucket 1 gets supply of water it flows into Buckets 3 and 2 and Bucket 2 will then supply to Bucket 7 when it gets half way.
    (D) when Bucket 3 gets its supply from Bucket 1 even before Bucket 2 gets it does not supply to any Bucket. It keeps all it gets.
    (E) Bucket 3 therefore gets filled first. The answer is Bucket 3.

  3. None of the buckets will get filled since a drop can't fill even a cup
