The relative density of ice is 0.9 and that of sea water is 1.125. What fraction of the whole volume of an iceberg appears above the surface of the sea ?

A

`1//5`

B

`2//5`

C

`3//5`

D

`4//5`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Fraction immersed`=rho_("solid")/rho_("liquid")=(0.9)/(1.125)=0.8`
Therefore, fraction outside the water = 0.2=1/5
