When a flaccid plant cell is placed in pure water
1. Water enters into the cell eventually rupturing it
2. Water enters into the cell and turgor pressure is developed
3. Water comes out of the cell making it plasmolysed
4. Net movement of water will be zero

A botanist placed wet cobalt chloride strip on upper and lower surface of leaf of 2 different plants, say A and B. Wet cobalt chloride turn its colour from pink to blue when it is dried. Time taken to turn the colour of cobalt chloride is mentioned below.
Upper surface Lower surface
Plant A 12 mins 2 mins
Plant B 2 mins 2.3 mins

Find the correct conclusion
1. Plant A have more stomata on upper surface.
2. Plant B have less stomata on lower surface.
3. Plant A have less stomata on upper surface.
4. Plant B can't have equal number of stomata on both surfaces
