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?
Options
A both X & Y
B neither of them
C X
Correct Answer
D Y
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.
