Solution

Dear Student!!
All the terms have same meaning.
When a body is partially or wholly immersed in a fluid, it displaces the fluid. The displaced fluid has a tendency to regain its original position . Due to which an upward force is exerted on the body which is called upthrust or buoyant force or buoyancy.
