Solution

The correct option is D
Weight of solid in air = $50 N$
Weight of solid in water = $45 N$
Buoyant force = Weight of water displaced = $50 N - 45 N = 5 N$
Density of water $ρ$ = $1000 k g / m^{3}$

Acceleration due to gravity = $10 m / s^{2}$

Volume of solid = $v_{s}$

Buoyant force = $v_{s} ρ g$

Volume of solid $v_{s}$ = $\frac{5 N}{1000 k g / m^{3} \times 10 m / s^{2}}$ = $5 \times 10^{- 4} m^{3}$
