Question
The relative densities of four liquids P, Q, R, and S are 1.26, 1.0, 0.84 and 13.6 respectively. An object is made to float in all these liquids, one by one. The object floats in all liquids. In which liquid the object will float with its maximum volume submerged under the liquid?

Solution
The correct option is C R
The liquid which has less relative density will have less density. Less density of liquid means, more volume of the liquid needs to be displaced in order to balance the same weight. Therefore body will float with its maximum volume submerged under the liquid whiich has the least density. Therefore body will float with its maximum volume submerged under the liquid R.
