Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

When oil is poured, buoyant force increases, hence volume of ice immersed decreases. Volume of water melted from ice is greater than the volume of ice immersed, hence there is rise in level of water.
Overall volume of ice decreases by melting, hence there is fall in level of oil.
