Solution

The correct option is A
Actual weight - Apparent weight

When a body is immersed in a liquid, the following two forces act on it :

(1) The weight of the body $W$ acting vertically downwards.

(2) The buoyant force of the liquid $F_{B}$ acting vertically upwards.

Apparent weight = Actual weight of the body - buoyant force

Buoyant force = Actual weight of the body - Apparent weight
