The diagram below represents cross sections of equal-size beakers A, B, and C filled with beads.

Which statement best compares the porosity in the three beakers?

(1) Beaker A and beaker B have the same porosity, and beaker C has the least porosity.

(2) Beaker A and beaker B have the same porosity, and beaker C has the greatest porosity.

(3) Beaker B has the greatest porosity, beaker A has less porosity, and beaker C has the least porosity.

(4) Beaker C has the greatest porosity, beaker B has less porosity, and beaker A has the least porosity.

Verified Answer :

Porosity basically measures how much free space there is between the parts, so what we are looking for in here is how much "white" there is.

We see that B has the most white, after this A, and after this C. 

so from the options the answer  is
(3) Beaker B has the greatest porosity, beaker A has less porosity, and beaker C has the least porosity.
