Solution

If the density of an object is less than the density of liquid the body will float.
When the weight of a body is less than that of a liquid it displaces, this means that the density of an object is less than the density of the liquid.
So, the body will float in the liquid.
Hence, When the weight of the body is less than that of a liquid displaced by it, the body will float.
