Fill the jar

You have two water jugs A & B, how would u manage to fill the jug A with 2 litres of water.

Conditions:
1. The jugs are not graduated.
2. You are free to move water from one jug to other.
3. You can take extra water or throw it out of jug.
4. Third Jug or measurement tool is not allowed.
5. The water should b exactly 2 liters, not estimated.

Capacity:
Jug A = 4 Litres
Jug B = 3 Litres

Fill jug B with 3L and transfer in 4L Jug. Now, fill Jug B again and transfer in 4L jug.

4L Jug will be able to accommodate only 1 more L now. Now, throw water from 4L jug.

You have 3L jug with 2L water now.
Transfer in 4L jug.

Cheers :)
