Solution

The correct option is A $5.0 g c m^{- 3}, s i n k$
Given, mass = $100 g$ , volume = $20 c m^{3}$
Density of object $= \frac{m a s s}{v o l u m e}$
$= \frac{100 g}{20 c m^{3}} = 5 g c m^{- 3}$

Also, density of water = $1 g c m^{- 3}$
Since density of object > density of water, the object will sink in water.
