In the given case, If a solid is immersed in kerosene or Glycerine , the apparent weight loss of given solid will be more in glycerine than in kerosene.
Reason:
Density of glycerine is 1.26g/cm³
Density of Kerosene is 0.8 g/cm³
The liquid having higher density exerts more upthrust force on object than other liquid having low density.
Thus, density of liquid increases, the buoyant force exerted by it also increases.
Because of greater upthrust, the object experiences greater apparent weight loss.
