A piece of wax floats in water but the same piece of wax sinks in a liquid say liquid 'X'. Will the relative density of liquid. 'X' be less than 1 or greater than 1 ? How can you say ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

1. The relative density of liquid 'X' is less than 1.
2. The density of wax is less than 1 because it floats on the water.
3. The density of liquid 'X' is less than the density of the wax this means less than 1 because wax sinks in that liquid 'X'.
