Question

Which of the following is/are the characteristics of a sheet of paper?

• A. It is a liquid
• B. It occupies an area
• C. It is very thick
• D. It has volume

Answer 1

The correct option is B It occupies an area

• A sheet of paper is not a liquid.
• A sheet of paper occupies an area when kept on table/ground.

Area = Length x Breadth, hence paper occupies area.

• It has very small thickness, which is why its thickness is neglected when its length and breadth are considered. In other words it is very thin.
• Volume = Lengh x Breadth x Height

It has no depth or height, hence it does not have a volume.
