Solution
The correct option is B P contains salt. ∙ Seawater contains disolved salts while distilled water is free from salt and other impurities. ∙ On exposure to air and sunlight, water evaporates away, leaving the salt crystals behind in beaker P. Hence, P contains salt. ∙ Q is filled with distilled water. Hence, on complete evaporation it becomes empty.
