Answer

Hypertonic Solution: A solution having higher concentration of solute with respect to another solution, is called hypertonic solution.
Hypotonic Solution: A solution having higher concentration of solvent with respect to another solution, is called hypotonic solution.
Isotonic Solution: A solution that have exactly the same water concentration with respect to another solution, is called isotonic solution.

The scientists now say that there are actually five states of matter $A, B, C, D$ and $E$. The state A has a fixed volume but no fixed shape. The state B can be compressed very easily by applying pressure and state $C$ has a fixed shape as well as a fixed volume. The state $D$ is mixture of free electrons and ions whereas state E is named after an Indian scientist and a famous physicist.
