Subject - Try To Solve This - Bottles problem
Since bottles are unmarked, filling exact half is not possible and so $_Aditi_$' s proposal may not work.
My proposal is
1) Fill any one bottle with water completely and transfer this water to another bottle and identify which one is of higher volume. Now mark them as 5 and 3. Make both the bottle empty.
2) Fill 5 ltr. bottle with water and transfer it to 3 ltr. bottle.
2 ltr. water will remain in 5 ltr. bottle.
3) Make 3 ltr. bottle empty.
4) Transfer 2 ltr. water from 5 ltr. bottle to 3 ltr. bottle.
5) Fill 5 ltr. bottle completely with water again and transfer it as much as possible to 3 ltr bottle. Actually you can transfer only 1 ltr.
6) Now you have 4 ltr. water in 5 ltr bottle.
Thanks and Regards
