Question

A man is sitting in a boat which is floating in a pond. If the man drinks some water from the pond, the level of water in the pond.

• A. increases
• B. decreases.
• C. remains unchanged
• D. increases or decreases depends upon the weight of man

Answer 1

The correct option is C remains unchanged

Due to an increase in the weight of the man, the boat will sink a little and displace the same volume of water drunk by the man. Hence, the level of water in the pond raised is equal to the level fallen when the man drank the water. Thus, the level of water will remain unchanged.
