A body when fully immersed in a liquid of specific gravity 1.2 weighs 44 gwt. The same body when fully immersed in water weighs 50 gwt. The mass of the body is

A

36g

B

48 g

C

64 g

D

80 g

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`mg-sigma V g = 44 g`
`implies mg-1.2 rho V g = 44g" "`...(i)
and `m g - rho V g = 50g" "`...(ii)
By (i) and (ii) -
`0.2 mg =(60-44)g implies mg = 80g`.
