Solution

The correct option is A D
$\frac{d e n s i t y o f o b j e c t}{d e n s i t y o f f l u i d} = \frac{w e i g h t o f o b j e c t}{w e i g h t o f d i s p l a c e d f l u i d}$
As $\frac{d e n s i t y o f o b j e c t}{w e i g h t o f o b j e c t}$ is constant, with lower density of fluid less volume will be submerged which in this case is $0.96$
