Kerosene and petrol are both non-polar substances, while water is a polar substance. When non-polar substances are mixed with polar substances, they do not form a uniform mixture because they do not mix well together.
On the other hand, methylbenzene (also known as toluene) is a slightly polar substance. It has a benzene ring which gives it some polarity. When mixed with water, methylbenzene can form a uniform mixture because it has some polar characteristics that allow it to mix with water to some extent.
Therefore, when mixed with water, methylbenzene is more likely to form a uniform mixture compared to kerosene and petrol due to its slight polarity.
