Well answered Manoj. Thought of replying to this thread, but finally decided against it as I have limited time and better threads to answer to (That doesn't mean this thread is no good. No. It is just that other threads had higher priority). Now, that I do have time, I will explain the logic to solve these kind of problems.

A general thumb rule for this kind of problems is, try to get the required amount of water in the largest first.
In this case we need to get 8 lts of water in 24 ltr Jug.
it will be (24-11-5)=8. Simple as that.

Next we need to get 8lt in 13lt jug.
It will be , (13-5)=8.

The third gets filled automatically. Thjis is the general way of solving for any puzzle of this kind.

Enjoy!

Cheers!
