A beaker is completely filled with water at 4°C It will overflow if

Question 1

(A) Heated above 4°C

(B) Cooled below 4°C

(C) Both heated and cooled above and below 4°C respectively

(D) of these

Question 2

Correct option: (C) Both heated and cooled above and below 4°C respectively

Explanation:

Maximum density of water occurs at 4°C.

So if the water is heated above 4°C or cooled below 4°C, then density decreases. Hence it expands and overflows in both cases.
