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

A

The body loses more weight in oil than in water

B

The volume of water displaced is `1.25` times that of oil displaced.

C

The body experiences equal upthrust from water and oil

D

to make the body just sink, one will need `1.25` times load in case of oil than in case of water

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B, C
Since body is floating, Buoyant force is same in both liquids and is equal to the weight of the body.
