AI Generated Solution

To find the specific gravity of oil, we need to follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the loss of weight in oil The weight of the body in air is given as 160 g and the weight in oil is 136 g. The loss of weight in oil can be calculated as follows: \[ \text{Loss of weight in oil} = \text{Weight in air} - \text{Weight in oil} = 160 \, \text{g} - 136 \, \text{g} = 24 \, \text{g} \] ...
