Solution
The correct option is A5N According to Archimedes' principle, when a body is partially or totally immersed in a liquid, it experiences a buoyant force equal to the weight of the liquid displaced. The weight of the displaced liquid is 5N. Hence, the buoyant force on the body must also be equal to 5N.
