Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Let M g be the mass of ice floating on water . Suppose, it displaces a volume V c c of water
Then ` M = V xx rho`
When all ice melts into water , let it occupy a volume V. ccx
Then, ` M = V.rho`, So, V. = v
i.e., level of water remains the same
