2,3,4,5,6,6,8,8,9,10,12,12,14,14,15,16,18,18,20,20..
But I cant find what it is..

Finding a general solution to this problem can be tough but there is another set like this:
With just six weights and a balance scale, you can weigh any unit number of kgs from 1 to 364. What could be the six weights?
1 kg, 3kg,9kg, 27kg, 81 kg, and 243kg.
Your answer is correct. But, by what logic, u found these weights?? Pls explain

Hi;
Notice the powers of 3 and go from there.
Hello Sir,
I have given the answers as 1,3,9,27 and so u have easily said them as powers of 3. For such a question "Find the weights required to balance all the weights between 1& 100, How will u find?? and explain your logic

Qn:The answer for "What are the 4 minimum weight stones required to measure any weight from 1kg to 40 kg?" is "1kg,3kg,9kg,27kg". But if I was asked to find the weights between 1kg to 100kg (or) between 1kg to 200kg (or) something, how to find it?? Is there any formula to find the weights?? What is the logic behind that??
