• A. variable
• B. fixed
• C. both (a) and (b)
• D. none of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A

variable

The explanation for the correct answer - (A) Variable

The syrup is a mixture.

Mixture - When two or more substances are mixed physically in any random proportion in such a way that they retain their individual properties is called a mixture.

The explanation for the incorrect answers -

(B) Fixed - if we mix two substances in fixed composition then the product obtained will be called a compound.

(C) Both (a) and (b) - since sugar syrup is a mixture therefore both options cannot be correct.

Hence, option (A) is correct. The composition of syrup is variable.
