A body floats in water with one third of its volume above the surface of water if it is placed in oil it floats with half of its volume above the surface of the oil the specific gravity of the oil is

A

5/3

B

4/3

C

3/2

D

1

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`2/3 V rho_w g =1/2 V rho_o g`
`implies (rho_o)/(rho_w)=4/3`, Specific gravity of oil = `4/3`
