Solution

The correct option is B R
Answer is C.
According to the laws of flotation, the more denser liquid will sink below and the less dense material will float.
In this case, the object R has the maximum density of $1200 k g / m^{3}$ .
Therefore, object R will sink when dipped in a bucket of water.
