The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
The Archimedes principle says, whenever an object is immersed in a fluid, the object experiences loss of weight. This loss of weight is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced.
As per this principle, an object which floats in liquid has density lesser than the liquid.
