Detailed Solution

Let V' be the initial volume of water displaced by the cork and V'' be the final volume of water displace by the same cork. If m be the mass of the cork, then initially, 

mg+PA=P+ρghAmg=ρghA

mg=ρgV'.......1whereV'=hA

Finally mg+P'A=P'+ρgh1Amg=ρgh1Amg=ρgV''..........2

Here h = initial submerged length, h' = final submerged length, From equations (1) and (2), V'' = V
