Ayesha put two drops of oil on the lid of her tiffin box. Next to that, she put two drops of water and two drops of sugar solution. She tilted the lid. She saw some drops slid down quickly, while some were left behind.
You also try to do the same and then tell - which drop went ahead? Why did it slide faster?
