Apiece of steel has a weight $W$ in air, $W_1$ when completely immersed in water and $W_2$ when completely immersed in an unknown liquid. The relative density (specific gravity)of liquid is

  • A

    $\frac{{W - {W_1}}}{{W - {W_2}}}$

  • B

    $\frac{{W - {W_2}}}{{W - {W_1}}}$

  • C

    $\frac{{{W_1} - {W_2}}}{{W - {W_1}}}$

  • D

    $\frac{{{W_1} - {W_2}}}{{W - {W_2}}}$
