in the second case the object will sink less. when the object was places in kerosene, which is of less density, it floated to a certain mark. this was because the density of substance was slightly less than density of kerosene. however, the density of water is more than the density of kerosene, and the difference between the density of fluid and object increases. this led to more buoyant force, and the sunk part decreases.
