    Density of ice is \[\rho \] and that of water is \[\sigma \]. What will be the decrease in volume when a mass M of ice melts

    A)            \[\frac{M}{\sigma -\rho }\]   

    B)            \[\frac{\sigma -\rho }{M}\]   

    C)            \[M\,\left[ \frac{1}{\rho }-\frac{1}{\sigma } \right]\]           

    D)            \[\frac{1}{M}\left[ \frac{1}{\rho }-\frac{1}{\sigma } \right]\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                       Volume of ice \[=\frac{M}{\rho }\], volume of water \[=\frac{M}{\sigma }\]  .            \ Change in volume \[=\frac{M}{\rho }-\frac{M}{\sigma }=M\,\left( \frac{1}{\rho }-\frac{1}{\sigma } \right)\]
