B) 35%
C) 10%
D) 25%
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
Let the total volume of iceberg is V and its density is\[\rho .\]If this iceberg floats in water with volume \[{{V}_{in}}\] inside it, then \[{{V}_{in}}\sigma g=V\rho g\Rightarrow {{V}_{in}}=\left( \frac{\rho }{\sigma } \right)V\] [\[\sigma =\]density of water] or \[{{V}_{out}}=V-{{V}_{in}}=\left( \frac{\sigma -\rho }{\sigma } \right)V\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[\frac{{{V}_{out}}}{V}=\left( \frac{\sigma -\rho }{\sigma } \right)=\frac{1000-900}{1000}=\frac{1}{10}\] \[\therefore \] \[{{V}_{out}}=10%\]of V
