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

(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.
