Expert Solution
Step 1

Method :

First, fill jug_4 (4 gallons ), then transfer it to jug_3(3 gallons)
The remaining water in jug_4 = 1 gallon
Empty jug_3 (0 gallons)
Transfer jug_4 water to jug_3, jug_3 = 1 gallon, 
Remaining space in jug_3 = 2gallon , jug_4 = 0 gallon
Again fill jug_4 (4 gallons)
Transfer water from jug_4 to jug_3 , jug_3 = 3 gallon , jug_4 = 2
