विकल्प

• (i) and (ii)

• (iv) only

• (iii) and (iv)

• (i) only

Answer 1

(i) and (ii)

Explanation:

When we dip an empty bottle in a bucket filled with water, the air trapped in the bottle starts escaping and tiny air bubbles are formed. Also, when he tilted the bottle, some water entered it because when the air escaped there was empty space left.
