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 α weight of liquid displaced

R.d of PR.d of Q = weight of p displacedweight of Q displaced

21.5 = weight of p displacedweight of Q displaced
