(ii)have mass and a definite shape
(iii)can change their states
(iv)have a definite volume
Ans- occupy space and have a definite mass
Reason — All kind of matter occupy space and have a definite mass. However, only solids have definite shape, not all forms of matter can change their states and only solids and liquids have definite volume. Hence, other options are not correct.
Que-3: The space occupied by matter is called :
(i)mass
(ii)area

(ii) Mixtures: These are made of two or more substances physically combined and can be separated by physical methods.
Examples: Air, Salt water
