If a plastic sphere floats in water (density = 1000kgm³) with 0.5 of its volume submerged, and floats in oil with 0.4 of its volume submerged the density of the oil is

800kgm³

1200kgm³

1250kgm³

2000kgm³

Correct answer is A

R.d = \(\frac{0.4}{0.5}\) = 0.8

0.8 = \(\frac{\text {Density of oil}}{\text{Density of water}}\)

0.8 = \(\frac{\text {Density of oil}}{1000}\)

Density of oil = 800kgm³
