    A beaker is completely filled with water at\[{{4}^{o}}C.\] It will overflow if

    A)  heated above\[{{4}^{o}}C\]

    B)  cooled below\[{{4}^{o}}C\]

    C)  both heated and cooled above and below\[{{4}^{o}}C\]respectively

    D)  none of the above

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Water has maximum density at\[{{4}^{o}}C\], so if the water is heated above\[{{4}^{o}}C\]or cooled below\[{{4}^{o}}C\], density decreases ie, volume increases. In other words it expands so it overflows in both the cases.
