A homogeneous solid cylinder of length $L (L < H/2)$. Cross sectional area $A/5$ is immersed such that it floats with its axis vertical at the liquid-liquid interface with length $L/4$ in the denser liquid as shown in the fig. The lower density liquid is open to atmosphere having pressure $P_0$. Then density $D$ of solid is given by

  • A

    $\frac {5}{4} d$

  • B

    $\frac {4}{5} d$

  • C

    $d$

  • D

    $\frac {d}{5}$
