    Take one coin from all three makers. and just weight two of them.
    if they are equal third one is of 9grams. other wise the coin which feels lower weight than other is of 9grams.☕

    my oversite..😳
    take 1 coin from 1st bag , 2 coins from second bag , 3 coin from 3rd bag and so on .....10 coin from 10th bag.
    weight them collectively. ... find the deviation from 55 grams.😎
