Answer: first you fill the 3 litre bottle to the top and you add the 3 litres of water to the 5 litre bottle you then fill the 3 litre bottle up again and add it to the 5 litre bottle.
the 5litre bottle is now full and the 3 litre bottle has 1 litre in it. so you empty the 5 litre bottle and add 1 litre to it from the remaining of the 3 litre bottle once the 5 litre bottle has 1 litre in it, you fill up the 3 litre bottle and add it to the five litre bottle.
