Question
Two liquids X & Y have densities 0.85 g/ml and 1.08 g/ml respectively. When both liquids are poured into a container, which liquid floats on top?
Correct Answer
Option C is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
The liquid with lower density floats on top of the liquid with higher density. Since X has density 0.85 g/ml (lower) and Y has density 1.08 g/ml (higher), X will float on top of Y.
Hint
Less dense substances float on more dense substances.
