Solution

The correct option is A

Metal is 7, Liquid is 3


Density of metal = ρ, Density of liquid = σ

If V is the volume of sample then according to problem

210 = Vρg ..........(i)

180 = V(ρ1)g ...........(ii)

120 = V(ρσ)g ...........(iii)

By solving (i), (ii) and (iii) we get ρ = 7 and σ = 3
