The water level will fall.
As a result of Archimedes' Principle, if any object is floating in a fluid, the weight of the fluid displaced by the object is equal to the weight of the object.
Now let us consider what happens when the ice melts. Ice is less dense than water. Therefore, the water displaced by floating ice is less than the volume of the ice (hence a small part of the ice sticks out of water). When ice melts, it shrinks to the same density as the water. Thus the melted ice will now occupy only as much volume as the water it initially displaced. Therefore, melting of ice does not change the water level.
Now let us consider the metal block. Metal is much denser than water. Therefore, when the block floats, it displaces the same weight of water as itself. But the volume of that displaced water is much higher than the metal block. When the ice melts, the metal sinks. Now, even after being completely submerged, the metal can only displace a volume of water equal to its own volume (which is less than the volume of water it displaced previously). Therefore, the amount of displaced water reduces sharply.
Thus, overall, the water level falls

✔here's your answer :-
〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰
➡A piece of ice with a stone frozen into it, is floating in a glass vessel filled with water. if the ice melts completely, then level of water in the vessel will REDUCE OR DECREASE.
➡this is because the melted ice will contribute very less or negligible in raising the volume of Level of water in the vessel.
⚫also the stone will occupy volume,so it will displace some water but being heavy , it is unable to displace the same amount of water equal to its volume and hence, it will help in the fall of water level.
so water Level falls or decreases in the vessel.
