There are 10 bags of gold coins.
Each bag contains 1000 identical (looks) coins.
8000 coins in 8 bags - each coin weighs 10 gms.
In two (2) other bags, there are 2000 coins each weighing 9 gms.
We have an electronic balance that can weigh upto 100 kg very accurately.
How would you identify both the bags containing coins weighing 9 gms, by using the balance only once?
