B

$5: 4$

C

$9: 10$

D

 $1: 1$

Solution

$\mathrm{v}_1=\text { volume immersed in water. }$

$\mathrm{v}_2=\text { volume immersed in oil. }$

$\mathrm{v}_1 \rho_{\mathrm{w}} \mathrm{g}+\mathrm{v}_2 \rho_{\mathrm{o}} \mathrm{g}=\left(\mathrm{v}_1+\mathrm{v}_2\right) \rho_{\mathrm{c}} \mathrm{g}$

$\mathrm{v}_1+\frac{\mathrm{v}_2 \rho_0}{\rho_w}=\left(\mathrm{v}_1+\mathrm{v}_2\right) \frac{\rho_{\mathrm{c}}}{\rho_w}$

$=\mathrm{v}_1+0.8 \mathrm{v}_2=0.9 \mathrm{v}_1+0.9 \mathrm{v}_2$

$=0.1 \mathrm{v}_1=0.1 \mathrm{v}_2$

$\mathrm{v}_1: \mathrm{v}_2=1: 1$
