A) Remains same
B) Rises
C) Lowers
D) (a), (b) or (c)
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
The volume of liquid displaced by floating ice \[{{V}_{D}}=\frac{M}{{{\sigma }_{L}}}\] Volume of water formed by melting ice, \[{{V}_{F}}=\frac{M}{{{\sigma }_{W}}}\] If \[{{\sigma }_{1}}>{{\sigma }_{W}},\]then, \[\frac{M}{{{\sigma }_{L}}}<\frac{M}{{{\sigma }_{W}}}\]i.e. \[{{V}_{D}}<{{V}_{F}}\] i.e. volume of liquid displaced by floating ice will be lesser than water formed and so the level if liquid will rise.
