Worked Solution

Step 1: Evaporation is faster with larger surface area (X) and lower humidity (Y). Step [2-9]: Since one factor favours X and the other favours Y, without specific data on the humidity level vs. surface area ratio, we cannot determine the winner.

Correct answer: It cannot be determined
