A BODY FLOATS WITH 5/6 thOF ITS TOTAL VOLUME INSIDE THE WATER .WHEN IT FLOATS IN A LIQUID HAVING RELATIVE DENSITY 1.2 ,FRACTION OF ITS VOLUME OUTSIDE THE LIQUID WILL BE
1. 5/11
2. 7/11
3. 11/24
4. 11/36

Condition to float:

Weight of the object = Weight of the water displaced by immersed portion = Weight of the liquid displaced by immersed portion
