A stream-lined body falls through air from a height $h$ on the surface of liquid. Let $d$ and $D$ denote the densities of the materials of the body and the liquid respectively. If  $D > d$, then the time after which the body will be instantaneously at rest, is

  • A

    $\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$

  • B

    $\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} \frac{D}{d}}$

  • C

    $\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} \frac{d}{D}}$

  • D

    $\sqrt {\frac{{2h}}{g}} \left( {\frac{d}{{D - d}}} \right)$
