Question

Three students are given three identical solids. They measure the volume of water overflowing out of the three overflow cans as shown. When they dip these solids completely in water are denoted as $V_{A,}{V}_{B}and{V}_C.$ Which of the following is correct?

• A. $V_A=V_B=V_C$
• B. $V_A=V_B\ne V_C$
• C. $V_A\ne V_B=V_C$
• D. $V_A\ne V_B\ne V_C$

Answer 1

The correct option is A

$V_A=V_B=V_C$

1. Here, the water filled in all the three beakers is at same level.
2. Also, the solid immersed is identical for all the cases.
3. Therefore, the volumes of water overflowing from their beakers will be the same.

Hence, option A is correct. $V_A=V_B=V_C$
