Solution

The correct options are
B Lemon will float on salty water.
C Lemon will sink in distilledwater.
Adding a lot of salt to water increases its density. Therefore, density of salty water is more than that of distilled water.
Hence, lemon which is put in salty water will float as density of lemon is lesser than salt water.
Lemon which is put in distilled water will sink as density of lemon is more than distilled water.
