Floating of a cork on the surface of water indicates that :
- the density of water is more than the density of cork.
- the density of water is less than the density of cork.
- the density of water is equal to the density of cork.
- the density of water plays no role in the floatation of cork.

Answer
the density of water is more than the density of cork.
Reason — Bodies of density greater than that of the liquid sink in it, while bodies of average density equal to or smaller than that of the liquid float on it.
