A body floats in a liquid A of density ρ1 with a part of it submerged inside liquid while in liquid B of density ρ2 totally submerged inside liquid. The densities ρ1 and ρ2 are related as:
- ρ1 = ρ2
- ρ1 < ρ2
- ρ1 > ρ2
- nothing can be said

Answer
ρ1 > ρ2
Reason — Density of liquid A ( ρ1) is greater than the density of liquid B ( ρ2) as the body is partially immersed in liquid A whereas it is fully immersed in liquid B.
