Dude a pretty good question
the answer is
1 , 2 , 4 , 8 , 25
With the first four arrangement of 1,2,4,8
we can measure upto 15 kgs
now for 16kg measuring we can put the 16kg weigth on the other side along with more 9kgs ( can be any arrange ment like 1.8 )

and then the 25 kg stone in the measurement side so the weigth gets balanced .

so on we can keep on adding the weigths and measuring.

plZ rate me for my efforts.

Always available for help !

But Remember Don't hesitate to ask a good Question but
Be damn serious for Questioning a weak one.

Wow anithe rquestion of the same kind

I love doing the same type of questions bot more difficult than before

The stones can be in the


Following weights

1, 2 , 4 , 8 , 16 , 69

This can be done as follows

We can measure the weights from 1 to 31 kgs with the help of the

First 5 stones

And then to measure 32 kgs we can have 69 kg on the meauring

Side and then the32 kg + use of the five stones for adding 5kg extra to the balance which will help us measure

Then for measuring 95 kg we can take 69 , 16 , 8 , 2 Kg weigths.

And so on we can keep on measuring the weights.

plZ rate me for my efforts.
