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 is A

R.d \(\alpha\) weight of liquid displaced

\(\frac{\text {R.d of P}}{\text {R.d of Q}}\) = \(\frac{\text{weight of p displaced}}{\text{weight of Q displaced}}\)

\(\frac{2}{1.5}\) = \(\frac{\text {weight of p displaced}}{\text {weight of Q displaced}}\)
