A jeweller claims that he sells ornaments made of pure gold that has the relative density of `19.3.`He sells a necklace weighing `25.250 g` f to a person. The clever customer weighs the necklace when immersed in pure water and finds that it weighs `23.075 g` f in water. Is the ornament made of pure gold?
