Puzzle - 8

There are two plastic jugs filled with water. How could you put all of this water into a barrel, without using the jugs or any dividers, and still tell which water came from which jug?

As mentioned in the comment Section: Freeze the water to make it as ICE Bar then put into the Jar, Same thing can be done for the second jugs water as well or pour straight into it. Still can be differentiated till it melts down...

maybe we can colour the water in one jug and then pour it in a barrel. or maybe we can use oil as seperator. i am not sure of this.

1. Remove water in Jug1 using a cup and pour it in the barrel.
2. Add few drops of oil which will form a layer.
3. Remove water from Jug2 as given in step 1 and pour it in the barrel.

Is this correct?

Its a good try Priya...I've given the clue that you have to change of the state of water...Normally it can be changed to two other states from Liquid...I've almost exposed the answer now. So, can guess back now?
