Question

8. Wooden block when floats in kerosene sinks more in kerosene than it sinks in water because
a) Density of wood is less in kerosene than in water
b) Floating body displaces water equal to mass of immersed part
c) Density of kerosene is less than the density of water
d) Floating body displaces kerosene of more weight than water​

Answer 1

I think the correct option is a)Density of wood is less in kerosene than in water.

Answer 2

a piece of wood with density of 0.9 g/cm³ will float on water (0.9 < 1) but will sink in kerosene (0.9 > 0.8). THIS HAPPENS BECAUSE THE DENSITY OF WOOD IS MORE THAN KEROSENE AND HENCE IT WILL SINK.
