Two solids $A$  and $ B$ float in water. It is observed that $A$  floats with half its volume immersed and $B$  floats with $2/3$  of its volume immersed. Compare the densities of $A$ and $B$

A

$4:3$ 

B

$2:3$

C

$3:4$ 

D

$1:3$

Solution

(c)If two different bodies $A$  and $B $ are floating in the same liquid then $\frac{{{\rho _A}}}{{{\rho _B}}} = \frac{{{{({f_{in}})}_A}}}{{{{({f_{in}})}_B}}} = \frac{{1/2}}{{2/3}} = \frac{3}{4}$
