Solution

Dear student!
Water and oil do not mix and due to lower densities the oil floats over water so, by heating or by exposure to sunlight, the water molecule will definitely evaporate.
However, if the oil is little miscible then the rate of evaporation can be slower but still the evaporation will occur.
