    B)  \[P\] and \[Q\] are true but \[Q\] does not explain\[P\]

    C)  Only \[P\] is true.

    D)  Only \[Q\] is true.

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     In liquids, particles have greater intermolecular spaces compared to those of solids. Hence, a small amount of sugar or salt, when added to the liquid will occupy the space available in between the particles of the liquid. Hence, we do not observe any change in the volume.
