Water is fully filled in a container at $4\,{}^oC$, then

A

Water overflows on heating but its level falls on cooling

B

Water overflows on cooling but its level falls on heating

C

Overflows on both heating and cooling

D

Levels falls on both heating and cooling

Solution

At $4^{\circ} \mathrm{C},$ density is maximum hence volume is minimum. Therefore it overflows on both cooling and heating.
