Solution

a. Yes, the shape of the water will change because liquids do not have a shape of their own. They take the shape of the container in which they are present.

b. No, the shape of the stone will not change by putting it in a dish containing water because solids have definite shape. They do not change their shape and retain it, no matter whatever be the circumstances.
