Answer:
Water and Oil are insoluble liquids
Explanation:
Water and Oil are insoluble liquids and oil is denser that water.Hence when it is thrown on fire caused by oil it gets settled on the bottom.

Explanation:
Water cannot put off fire produced due to burning petrol and oil because water is heavier than oil. It settles down or sinks below the oil particles and cannot bring the ignition temperature of the substance down or cannot cut off the supply of air to the fire. Hence, oil keeps on burning on the top.
