Solution

The correct option is A 10cm/sec
When the ball is falling down, force of buoyancy and weight balance each other. as it moves at constant speed.
If the ball is pulled at double its effective weight, then bouyant force and weight will together balance it and it moves at constant speed of 10cms1.
