A) \[\frac{90}{103}\]
B) \[\frac{13}{103}\]
C) \[\frac{10}{103}\]
D) \[\frac{1}{103}\]
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
[b] Let V be the volume of iceberg and let x be the fraction of volume above water. Using law of floatation, weight of floating body= weight of liquid displaced by part of the floating body inside the liquid. Therefore, \[V{{\rho }_{ice}}g=(1-x)V{{\rho }_{water}}g.\] Using the value of\[{{\rho }_{ice}}\,and\,{{\rho }_{water}}\], we get\[x=(13/103)\].
