Solution

(a) Buoyant force is same in each case as the weight of the body is same in each case and Buoyant force is equal to the weight of liquid displaced by the immersed part of the body which balances the weight of the body.

(b) The liquid A has the least density as body immerces the maximum.

(c) Liquid C has the highest density as the body immerces the least.
