Solution

An object will float in a fluid if the density of the object is lesser than that of the fluid in which it is kept.
Density of hydrogen gas is less than that of air.
When hydrogen gas is filled in a balloon it makes a balloon lighter than the surrounding air.
So, when hydrogen gas is filled in a balloon it rises to the ceiling.
