answer.
1. A body having a relative density of 1.2
A body having a relative density of 0.8.

Answer 1

Explanation:

here is the explanation

Answer 2

Answer:

The density of water is . An object will float or sink it depends on its density. An object having density greater than water will sink while object having density less than water will float.

(a) Density of body A is 0.5 g/cm

3

Its density is less than water, it will float.

(b) Density of body B is 2.528 g/cm

3

Its density is more than water, it will sink.

(c) Density of body C is 1.1 g/cm

3

Its density is more than water, it will sink.

(c) Density of body D is 0.85 g/cm

3

.

Its density is less than water, it will float.

Hence, body A and D will float while body B and C will sink.
