A solid weighs 4.8g in air, 2.8g in water and 3.2g in kerosine. The ratio of density of the solid to that of the kerosine is

A.

12

B.

3

C.

2

D.

32

E.

54

Correct answer is B

Relative density of solid = weight of solidweight of an equal volume of water

4.84.83.2 = 4.82 = 2.4

Ratio of density of liquid = weight of liquid kerosineweight of an equal volume of water

= 4.83.24.82.8 = 1.62

= 0.8

= density of soliddensity of kerosine

= 2.40.8 = 3
