A factory manufactures tennis balls of exactly 100g
The factory consists of 5 machines that produce these balls. The balls are marked with the numbers 1,2,3,4 and 5 to ensure the machine that had manufactured them. In a certain fault one of the 5 machines start manufacturing the balls of 99g. The workers now want to find out which machine had a fault. The electronic balance has enough battery to give only 1 reading. Using as much balls as you want, advise how will you find the machine with the fault.(remember the balls are marked with the machine numbers).
