Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 800

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Applying Archimedes' principle, submerged part \(=\) replaced water \(\Rightarrow \quad \frac{4}{5} h \rho_{u s} g=h \times \rho_l \times g\) where, \(\rho_w=\) density of water and \(\rho_l=\) density of the liquid.…
