A body is floating in a liquid with 1/5 ...

A body is floating in a liquid with `1/5` of its volume outside the liquid. If the relative density of the body is 0.9, that of the liquid is ………….. .

A

`0.9xx5`

B

`0.9xx(5)/(4)`

C

`0.9xx(4)/(5)`

D

`0.9xx4`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`(P_("body"))/(P_("liquid"))= 4/5 implies P_("liquid") = 5/4 xx P_("body") = 5/4 xx 0.9`
