Solution

  1. Inertia: Inertia is a property of a body of mass m by virtue of which it resists any change in its state of rest or state of motion.
  2. Inertia is directly proportional to the mass of the object.
  3. Since we know that the density of water is more than the density of air.
  4. Therefore balloon filled with air has less mass as compared to a balloon which is filled with water.
  5. Hence balloon filled with water has more inertia.
