Detailed Solution

From Archimedes' principle, Fb - Ft = upthrust = weight of volume V of the liquid. Here Fb and Ft denote the force exerted by the liquid on the bottom and the top of the cylinder respectively. Upthrust = ρVg and Ft = (πR2 h) pg. Hence

                        FbπR2hρg+ρVg=ρgπR2h+V

Hence the correct choice is ( 4).
