A

`P` floats in `A` and `Q` sinks in `B`

B

`P` sinks in `A` and `Q` floats in `B`

C

`P` floats in `B` and `Q` sinks in `A`

D

`P` sinks in `B` and `Q` floats in `A`

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the behavior of the solid objects P and Q when immersed in the liquids A and B based on their relative densities. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Relative Densities**: - Liquid A has a relative density of 0.75. - Liquid B has a relative density of 1.0 (which is the density of water). - Object P has a relative density of 0.6. - Object Q has a relative density of 0.9. 2. **Determine the Behavior of Object P in Liquid A**: - The density of liquid A (0.75) is greater than the density of object P (0.6). - According to the principle of buoyancy, if the density of the liquid is greater than the density of the object, the object will float. - Therefore, **Object P will float in Liquid A**. 3. **Determine the Behavior of Object Q in Liquid B**: - The density of liquid B (1.0) is greater than the density of object Q (0.9). - Again, since the density of the liquid is greater than the density of the object, object Q will float in liquid B. - Therefore, **Object Q will float in Liquid B**. 4. **Determine the Behavior of Object P in Liquid B**: - The density of liquid B (1.0) is greater than the density of object P (0.6). - Thus, object P will float in liquid B as well. - Therefore, **Object P will float in Liquid B**. 5. **Determine the Behavior of Object Q in Liquid A**: - The density of liquid A (0.75) is less than the density of object Q (0.9). - Since the density of the liquid is less than the density of the object, object Q will sink in liquid A. - Therefore, **Object Q will sink in Liquid A**. ### Conclusion: - Object P floats in both Liquid A and Liquid B. - Object Q sinks in Liquid A but floats in Liquid B. ### Final Answer: - The correct statements about the objects in the liquids are: - P floats in A (True) - P floats in B (True) - Q sinks in A (True) - Q floats in B (True)
