Fluid statics

Question

We have two different liquids A and B whose specific gravities are 0.75 and 1.0 respectively. If we dip solid objects P and Q having relative densities 0.6 and 0.9 in these liquids then

Easy

A

P floats in A and Q sinks in B
B

P sinks in A and Q floats in B
C

P floats in B and Q sinks in A.
D

P sinks in B and Q floats in A

Solution

$ρ_{A} = 0.75, ρ_{P} = 0.6, ρ_{B} = 1.0 and ρ_{Q} = 0.9$
As relative density of P is less than that of B, so it will float in liquid B and as relative density of Q is greater than that of liquid A, so it will sink in A, became if density of object is greater than that of the liquid in which it is immersed, then its weight is more than the upthrust and vice versa.
