A body floats on water and then also on an oil of densily `1.25`. Which of the following is/are true?

Options

A. The body loses more weight in oil than in water.
B. The volume of water displaced is `1.25` times that of oil diplaced
C. The body experiences equal upthrust form water and oil.
D. Apparent weight is zero in both cases.

Answer

B, C, D

Explanation

`V_1xxd_wg=V_2xxd_(oil)g=W`
`impliesV_1xx1=V_2xx1.25impliesV_1=1.25V_2`
`V_1=` Volume of water displaced.
Since the body floats in both the liquids, so in both the cases Buoyancy`=`Weight
Entire weight is lost, the apparent weight is zero in the both cases.
Also, Upthrust`=`Buoyancy
