A solid of density D is floating in a liquid of density d. If V is the volume of solid submerged in the liquid and V is the total volume of the solid, then `V//V` is equal to

A

`(d)/(D)`

B

`(D)/(d)`

C

`(D)/(d + D)`

D

`(D + d)/(D)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
As solid body is floating in the liquid,
`:.` Weight of the solid body = Weight of liquid displaced by immersed part of the body
or VDg = V. dg or ` (V.)/(V) = (D)/(g)`
