    arrange four identical given tablets in a row and break each tablets into two halfs. and now take each broken half from each tablets.  and you will get 2 half cold tablets and 2 half fever tablets together making 1 cold and 1 fever tablets.

    What if you take 2 half cold tablets and another half of cold tablet and half fever tablet or vice versa which is always a possibility.

    It seems that there’s something wrong with the question. In the present condition,  I don’t see any solution possible (unless with some assumptions not specified in the puzzle). The ‘halves solution’ given by two others won’t work, as evident from the figure.

    I have mentioned clearly:”Take one half from each pair.”
    So has mvkiran128: “now take each broken half from each tablets”.
    You break a tablet in half.
    Take one half and throw away the other half.
    Repeat for the other three tablets.
