Answer:
A hydrometer is an instrument used for measuring the relative density of liquids based on the concept of buoyancy. They are typically calibrated and graduated with one or more scales such as specific gravity.

If a hydrometer is immersed in sugar solution and pure water, it will immerse more in pure water. It is described below.
- A hydrometer can be defined as a measurement device or instrument, that is used for measuring some characteristics of a liquid, such as density or specific gravity.
- A hydrometer will get immersed more in a liquid that is less dense compared to the one with a higher density.
- Here, the two liquids given are, 1. sugar solution, and 2. pure water.
- Now, as we can see that adding sugar to water, to make it a sugar solution will increase its density. So, we can say that a sugar solution will be denser than pure water.
- It means the hydrometer will sink more in pure water as compared to the sugar solution.
- Thus, if a hydrometer is immersed in sugar solution and pure water, it will immerse more in pure water.
