Solution
Each body occupies space equal to its own volume.
Therefore, if a body of irregular shape is immersed in a liquid, it displaces the volume of liquid equal to it’s own volume so as to occupy the space of liquid.
Thus, volume of body of irregular shape = Volume of liquid displaced by body when completely immersed in liquid.
Therefore, the volume of an irregular solid is determined by the method of displacement of liquid.
