Detailed Solution

A body floats in a liquid only if the buoyant force is greater than the weight of the body.
The buoyant force makes the body float on the liquid, so if the buoyant force is less than its weight, the body will sink. If the buoyant force is equal to that body, then the body may float or sink, but if the buoyant force is greater than its weight, it will definitely float in that liquid.
