The glass which is empty is actually filled with air. And because air takes up space when an empty glass is inverted and inserted into a trough filled with water, the air is trapped within and it is no anyway for air to escape out.

An empty glass in fact is not empty.
Explanation:
An empty glass may seem to be devoid of any substance or content, but it is not entirely empty. It contains air molecules, and thus can be considered to be filled with air.
Reasons:
1. Air Pressure:
Even when a glass appears to be empty, it is filled with air molecules that exert pressure on the inside of the glass. This is due to the atmospheric pressure present in the surrounding environment. The air molecules exert force on the inner surface of the glass, creating pressure inside.
2. Air Composition:
Air is composed of various gases such as nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and trace amounts of other gases. These gases fill up the space inside the glass, making it not completely empty.
3. Invisible Gases:
The air inside the glass is predominantly composed of invisible gases like nitrogen and oxygen. Since we cannot see these gases, we might mistakenly assume that the glass is empty.
Comparison to Other Options:
a) Filled with water: If the glass is filled with water, it would not be considered empty.
c) Not empty: This option is incorrect as it implies that the glass contains some substance other than air.
d) Empty: This option is incorrect as it disregards the presence of air molecules inside the glass.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, an empty glass is not truly empty as it contains air molecules. The presence of air molecules fills up the space inside the glass, making it not completely empty. Therefore, option 'B' is the correct answer.

How we can tell oxygen is the only gas in glass? oxygen is only 21% in atmosphere.Air is mixture of so many gases.so I think the options are not given correctly.Answer is Air(Mixture of many gases)
