Two cyllinders of same cross-section and length $L$ but made of two material of densities $d_1$ and $d_2$ are cemented together to form a cylinder of length $2L$. The combination floats in a liquid of density $d$ with $a$ length $L/2$ above the surface of the liquid. If $d_1 > d_2$ then:

  • A

    $d$ $>$ $\frac{3}{4}$$ d$

  • B

    $\frac{d}{2}$ $>$ $d_1$ 

  • C

    $\frac{d}{4}$ $>$ $d_1$

  • D

    $d$ $<$ $d_1$
