Answer 2

Fill 11 liter flask, pour the 11 liter into 7 liter flask, you will have 4 liter in 11 liter flask, empty the 7 liter flask, then pour the water from 11 liter to 7 liter flask , empty 11 liter flask and fill it again. So you have 4 liter in 7 liter flask and 11 liter in 11 liter flask. After this fill the 7 liter flask from 11 liter flask, this will make the the 11 liter flask to have exactly 8 liters, then you can empty the 7 liter flask and then fill it with 11 liter flask again leaving 1 liter in 11 liter flask, pour the 1 liter into the smaller flask and repeat the procedure again to get 2 liters in the smaller flask.
