If `S_(1)` is the specific gravity of a solid with respect to a liqid and `S_(2)` is the specific gravity of the liquid with respect to water, then the specific gravity of the solid with respect to water is

`S_(1)+S_(2)`

`S_(1)xxS_(2)`

`S_(1)-S_(2)`

`(S_(1))/(S_(2))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

`S_(1)=(d_("solid"))/(d_("liquid")),S_(2)=(d_("liquid"))/(d_("water"))`
