Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(600 \mathrm{~cm}^3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Volume of cube inside water
\(\begin{aligned}
& =\left(\frac{\text { Denslty of cube }}{\text { Denslty of water }}\right) \times \text { Volume of cube } \\
& =\frac{\text { Mass of cube }}{\text { Denslty of water }} \\
& =\frac{400 \mathrm{gm}}{1 \mathrm{gm} / \mathrm{cm}^3} \\
& =400 \mathrm{~cm}^3
\end{aligned}\)
Volume of cube outside water
\(\begin{aligned}
& =\text { Volume of cube }- \text { Volume of cube inside water } \\
& =1000 \mathrm{~cm}^3-400 \mathrm{~cm}^3 \\
& =600 \mathrm{~cm}^3
\end{aligned}\)
