Detailed Solution

When a body floats in a liquid, its apparent weight is always zero.
According to Archimedes' principle, the weight of the floating body is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced. Apparent weight=weight of the body-weight of the liquid displaced
The body will float only when both weights are the same. In this case, the given body is floating and hence the apparent weight is zero.
