Section B Answer all the questions. Write your answers in the spaces provided.
1 An investigation is carried out by a group of pupils. Three similar containers labelled A, B and C filled with same volume of water are used. The base of each container is being punched with a hole of different size and the volume of water dropping out into each measuring cylinder, A, B, and C are shown in Table 1.
