Which of the following statements is/are True? A. Shape: According to the type of matter, shape differs depending upon location of particles. Eg, solids have definite shape while liquids acquire the shape of their container and gases, as such, don't have any shape. B. Compressibility: It is the property of matter to allow decrease in volume under high pressure and gases show this property.

✓ Answer: B A and B are both true
Solids maintain a fixed volume and shape, while liquids adapt to the shape of their container and gases expand to fill any space. This makes Statement A true. Compressibility is indeed a property of matter, but it is gases, not liquids, that display significant compressibility under high pressure. Therefore, Statement B is also true (as stated in the given context regarding gases).
