    A piece of solid weighs 120 g in air, 80 g in water and 60 g in a liquid. The relative density of the solid and that of the liquid are respectively

    A)  \[3,\text{ }2\]                                  

    B)  \[2,\frac{3}{4}\]                              

    C)  \[\frac{3}{2},2\]              

    D)         \[4,\text{ }3\]

    E)  \[3,\frac{3}{2}\]

    Correct Answer: E

    Solution :

    Relative density of solid \[=\frac{weight\text{ }in\text{ }air}{weight\text{ }in\text{ }air-weight\text{ }in\text{ }water}\] \[\Rightarrow \] Relative density of solid \[=\frac{120}{120-80}=\frac{120}{40}=3\] Relative density of liquid \[=\frac{weight\text{ }in\text{ }air-weight\text{ }in\text{ }liquid}{weight\text{ }in\text{ }air-weight\text{ }in\text{ }water}\] \[\Rightarrow \]Relative density of liquid \[=\frac{120-60}{120-80}=\frac{60}{40}=\frac{3}{2}\]
