A cube of ice floats partly in water and partly in kerosene oil. The ratio of volume of ice immersed in water to that in kerosene oil is _______.(specific gravity of Kerosene oil \(=0.8\), specific gravity of ice \(=0.9\) )

- A \(8: 9\)
- B \(5: 4\)
- C \(9: 10\)
- D \(1: 1\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(1: 1\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\mathrm{v}_1=\text { volume immersed in water. }\) \(\mathrm{v}_2=\text { volume immersed in oil. }\) \(\mathrm{v}_1 \rho_{\mathrm{w}} \mathrm{g}+\mathrm{v}_2 \rho_{\mathrm{o}} \mathrm{g}=\left(\mathrm{v}_1+\mathrm{v}_2\right) \rho_{\mathrm{c}} \mathrm{g}\)…
