Detailed Solution

The boat will sink somewhat as a result of the man's increased weight, replacing the same amount of water he has consumed.
As a result, the amount of water in the pond that was elevated equals the amount that was lost when the man drank the water. As a result, the water's level won't alter.
There is no change in the water's level. The cause is that when a person drinks water (let's say m gm), their weight increases by m gm, and as a result, the amount of water they are displacing increases by m gm, tending to raise the level.
This much water has already been ingested by the individual, though. Consequently, the pond's level stays the same.

Hence the correct answer is 'A' is false and 'R' is true.
