suppose you have 10 sets of balls containing 10 balls each. out of these 9 sets have all balls weighing 10kg (individually) and 1 set has 5kg balls. You can use the digital weighing machine once. how will you wind out which set has 5kg balls?

You got it right. Did you think of it or you knew it. Even for the "Two Doors". You seem to be a professional.
