Question

Liquid A and liquid B are poured from two different containers at the same time. Liquid A pours out in 24 seconds, whereas liquid B takes 68 seconds. Which of the following statements are true about liquid A?

Liquid A is more viscous than B.
Liquid A has bigger particles than B.
Liquid A is less viscous than liquid B.
Liquid A has the same viscosity as liquid B.
A) 1 and 2
B) 1 and 3
C) 2 and 4
D) 3 and 4

Answer 1

Liquid A is less viscous than liquid B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The viscosity of a liquid is a measure of its resistance to flow. Liquids with higher viscosity flow more slowly, while liquids with lower viscosity flow more freely. In this case, liquid A takes 24 seconds to pour out, whereas liquid B takes 68 seconds.

Since liquid A takes less time to pour out, it has a lower viscosity compared to liquid B. Therefore, the correct statement about liquid A is that it is less viscous than liquid B (option B).
