Solution

The correct option is B Density of liquid A < Density of liquid B
Since the iron ball sinks in the liquid A,
Density of iron ball > density of liquid A

Also, the iron ball floats in liquid B,
Density of liquid B > density of the iron ball

Density of liquid B > Density of the ball > Density of liquid A

Thus, density of liquid A < density of liquid B
