A body of weight $200 N$ sinks in a liquid then upthrust on the body is less or greater than $200 N .$

Solution

If the buoyant force is greater than the object's weight, the object will rise to the surface and float.
If the buoyant force is less than the object's weight, the object will sink.
If the buoyant force equals the object's weight, the object will remain suspended at that depth.
Since the body here sinks in liquid, then the upthrust on the body will be less than $200 N .$
