Consider the statements. A. Rigidity: solids have a definite shape, liquids take the shape of their container, gases have none. B. Compressibility: matter can decrease in volume under high pressure, shown by gases. Which is/are true?
AOnly B is true
BA and B are both false
COnly A is true
DA and B are both true
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. A and B are both true
1. Statement A correctly describes the shape behaviour of solids, liquids and gases.
2. Statement B correctly describes compressibility, which is high in gases.
3. Both statements are true.
