Statement I: When a body floats such that its parts are immersed into two immiscible liquids, then force exerted by liquid `1` is of magnitude `rho_(1)v_(1)g`.
Statement II: Total buoyant force `=rho_(1)v_(1)g+rho_(2)v_(2)g`.

A

Statement I is true, statement II is true and Statement II is a correct explanation for Statement I.

B

Statement I is true, Statement II is true and Statement II is NOT the correct explanation for Statement I.

C

Statement I is true, Statement II is false.

D

Statement I is false, Statement II is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

`rho_(1)v_(1)g` is not the force applied by liquid `1` on body it `rho_(1)ghxxA, ` although net force (buoyant) comes out of be `rho_(1)v_(1)g+rho_(2)v_(2)g`
