A container filled with a liquid A is floating on the surface of another liquid 'B' as shown in the figure, then volume of the liquid displaced by the container

A

is equal to the weight of the liquid A.

B

is greater than the weight of the liquid A.

C

is less than the weight of the liquid A

D

Cannot be determined

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
When a body is floating on a liquid, the weight of the body is equal to weight of the liquid displaced. Hence, weight of the container + weight of the liquid A = weight of the liquid displaced. Therefore, weight of the liquid B displaced is greater than the weight of the liquid A.
