Question

The relative density of silver is $10.8$. The density of water is $1000{\text{kg/m}}^3$. What is the density of silver?

• A. $1000{\text{kg/m}}^3$
• B. $1080{\text{kg/m}}^3$
• C. $10800{\text{kg/m}}^3$
• D. $10000{\text{kg/m}}^3$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $10800{\text{kg/m}}^3$

We know that,

$\text{Relative Density}=\frac{\text{Density of substance}}{\text{Density of water}}$

$\Rightarrow \text{Density of silver}=\text{Relative Density}\times \text{Density of water}$

$\Rightarrow \text{Density of silver}=10.8\times 1000=10800{\text{kg/m}}^3$

Hence, option $\left(C\right)$ is the correct answer.
