Solution

The correct option is B
False

Archimedes' principle relates the buoyant force exerted on the immersed part of a body (in fluid) is equal to the weight of the immersed part and not the volume of the fluid that the immersed part displaces. Moreover, we must note that buoyant force must be equated with another force (in this case, weight) and not volume.
