Solution

  1. We know that salt water is greater denser than freshwater because of salt masses.
  2. When salt is added to water, the weight of water increases.
  3. This salt makes the water denser and allows more objects to float that have less density than salt water.

Hence, When salt is added to water contained in a beaker, an egg laying in the water will begin to rise.
