Solution
The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion The buoyant force on a body by liquid is the weight of the liquid displaced by the body, Thus the force exerted by liquid-1 is ρ1v1g. Force exerted by liquid-2=ρ2v2g
Thus the total buoyant force=ρ1v1g+ρ2v2g
Both statements are true, but it is not the reason for the assertion.
