1. CLASS - 9 - MATTER IN OUR SURROUNDINGS

Seema took a 100 ml beaker and filled half the beaker with water and marked the level of water. She dissolved some salt with the help of a glass rod and recorded water level again.

• The water level increases appreciably

• The water level decreases

• The water level remains the same

• There is little increase in water level.
