Question 17
George poured different amount of water into four identical ceramic
containers as shown below. The starting temperature of water in each
container was different.
George heated the water in all the containers and recorded the time taken for
the water to boil. He then plotted the results on the graph below.
Which of the following correctly identifies the graph of each container?
