Solution

The correct option is A liquid 1
When the density of the liquid is greater than that of object, then the weight of liquid displaced is greater than or equal to the weight of the object. This means that the buoyant force acting on the object is greater or equal to the weight of the object which makes the object to float in that liquid.
Hence the object will float in liquid 1 as the density of liquid 1 is more than that of the object while the object will sink in liquid 2 as the density of liquid 2 is less than that of the object.
