A body of volume 100 cc weighs 80 g in air. It will float in water with MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A body of volume 100 cc weighs 80 g in air. It will float in water with
A. 20 cc above water
B. It will sink
C. 100 cc submerged
D. 80 cc submerged
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Density = 80/100 = 0.8 g/cc. Water density 1 g/cc. Fraction submerged = 0.8, so 80 cc submerged, 20 cc above. So option B correct.

Question #1
Dispersion of white light through a prism occurs because
A. Refractive index is different for different colours
B. Prism absorbs colours
C. White light is composed of seven colours
D. Different colours have same speed in glass

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Dispersion is splitting of light into constituent colours due to variation of refractive index with wavelength. Violet deviates most, red least. Prism doesn't absorb but disperses. Rainbow formation is due to dispersion, refraction, reflection in water droplets.

Question #3
A convex mirror is used as a rear-view mirror because it
A. Inverts image
B. Gives wider field of view
C. Gives real image
D. Magnifies image

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Convex mirror diverges rays, gives erect, diminished, virtual image with wider field. Concave would magnify but narrow field. Plane gives normal view. Safety advantage.
