It occupy varied shaped according to in which it hold.

None of this.

Water is a liquid or fluid, it is not compressible perfectly, it can be compressed upto a minor extent. As given in FM text books that water is regarded as in compressible fluid.

But as we all know that the liquids may take any shape according to container in which it is poured. So there may be confusion regarding answer.

The liquids are incompressible fluids.

A liquid is a nearly incompressible fluid that conforms to the shape of its container but retains a (nearly) constant volume independent of pressure, liquid is the state with a definite volume but no fixed shape.

Fluids mean both gases and liquids.

But we are discussing liquids, which are incompressible and gases are compressible.

Liquids have no definite shape.

So the answer is cannot be compressed.

Jwala said:   9 years ago
Yes, the liquid can not be compressed.

I think both A & B are right.
