Question

Why does 1 kg of iron occupies less space compared to 1 kg of sponge?

• A. Iron has less density than sponge.
• B. lron and sponge have equal densities.
• C. Iron has more density than sponge.
• D. Weight of iron per unit volume is less than that of sponge.

Answer 1

The correct option is C Iron has more density than sponge.

Density is measured as mass per unit volume. The density of iron is more than that of sponge, hence for the same amount of iron and sponge the space occupied by the iron is lesser than a sponge.
