Two solids $A$  and $ B$  float in water. It is observed that $A$  floats with $\frac{1}{2}$ of its body immersed in water and $ B$  floats with $\frac{1}{4}$ of its volume above the water level. The ratio of the density of $ A$  to that of $B$  is

  • A

    $4:3$

  • B

    $2:3$ 

  • C

    $3:4$

  • D

    $1:2$
