Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Since X floats on water, the density of X is less than the density of water. But the density of X is more than that of the other liquid. Solid Y floats on water and also in another liquid. That means solid Y has lesser density than the other liquid also which implies that solid Y has lesses density than solid X. Z sinks in water and also in another liquid as well, which means that Z has greater density than both the liquids and it is denser than the solids X and Y. The order of densities of X,Y and Z is `Z gt X gt Y`
