Two solids `A` and `B` floats in water. It is observed that `A` floats with half of its volume immersed and `B` Floats with `2//3` of its volume immersed. The ratio of densities of `A` and `B` is

A

`4:3`

B

`2:3`

C

`3:4`

D

`1:3`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
If two different bodies A and B are floating in the same liquid then
`(rho_(A))/(rho_(B)) = ((f_("in"))A)/((f_("in"))B) = (1//2)/(2//3) = (3)/(4)`
