buoyancy force on cork =weight of water displaced by cork
but we know 1/4th part of cork is immersed .e.g. it displaced volume of water equal 1/4 th of its own volume.
hence, weight of water 1/4th volume of cork would be equal to the weight of the floating cork .
hence
apparent weight=real weight -buoyancy weight (force)
=1/4th weight of cork -1/4th weight of cork=0
