If a solid X floats in liquids P of relative density 2.0 and in liquid Q of relative density 1.5, it can be inferred that the
-
A.
weight of P displaced is greater than that of Q -
B.
weight of P displaced is less than that of Q -
C.
volume of P displaced is greater than that of Q -
D.
volume of P displaced is less than that of Q
Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation
R.d (alpha) weight of liquid displaced
(frac{text {R.d of P}}{text {R.d of Q}}) = (frac{text{weight of p displaced}}{text{weight of Q displaced}})
(frac{2}{1.5}) = (frac{text {weight of p displaced}}{text {weight of Q displaced}})
