Each of the bottles mentioned in this question contains 50 ml of liquid. The liquid in any bottle can be 100%
pure content (P) or can have certain amount of impurity (1). Visually it is not possible to distinguish between
P and I. There is a testing device which detects impurity, as long as the percentage of impurity in the
content tested is 10% or more.

For example, suppose bottle 1contains only P, and bottle 2 contains 80% P and 20% I. If content from
bottle 1is tested, it will be found out that it contains only P. If content of bottle 2 is tested, the test will
reveal that it contains some amount of 1. If 10 ml of content from bottle 1 is mixed with 20 ml content from
bottle 2. the test willshow that the mixture has impurity, and hence we can conclude that at least one of
the two botles has I. However, if 10ml of content from bottle 1is mixed with 5ml of content from bottle 2.
the test willnot detect any impurity in the resultant mixture.

Sixteen patients in a hospital must undergo a blood test for a disease. It is known that exactly one of them
has the disease. The hospital has only eight testing kits and has decided to pool blood samples of patients
into eight vials for the tests. The patients are numbered 1 through 16, and the vials are labelled A, B, C.
D, E, F,G, and H. The following table shows the vials into which each patient's blood sample is distributed.

If a patient has the disease, then each vial containing his/her blood sample will test
positive. If a vial tests
positive, one of the patients whose blood samples were mixed in the vial has the disease. If a vial tests
negative, then none of the patients whose blood samples were mixed in the vial has the disease.

1. Patient 8 2. Patient 14 3. Patient 6 4. Patient 2
