MCQ
A beaker is completely filled with water at $4°C$. It will overflow if
  • A
    Heated above $4°C$
  • B
    Cooled below $4°C$
  • Both heated and cooled above and below $4°C$ respectively
  • D
    None of the above

Answer

Correct option: C.
Both heated and cooled above and below $4°C$ respectively
c
(c) Water has maximum density at $4°C$, so if the water is heated above $4°C$ or cooled below $4°C$ density decreases i.e. volume increases.

In other words, it expands so it overflows in both the cases.
