A liquid can easily change its shape but a solid can not because:
| 1. | the density of a liquid is smaller than that of a solid. |
| 2. | the forces between the molecules is stronger in solid than in liquids. |
| 3. | the atoms combine to form bigger molecules in a solid. |
| 4. | the average separation between the molecules is larger in solids. |
| Assertion (A): | When toothpaste is pressed (squeezed), it follows Pascal’s law. |
| Reason (R): | When pressure is applied to a fluid, it is transmitted equally throughout the fluid in all directions and on the walls of the container. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
