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 #2
Which of the following physical quantities is an example of a vector quantity?
A. Electric charge
B. Electric field intensity
C. Electric potential
D. Electric current

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
A vector quantity possesses both magnitude and a specific spatial direction, and it must obey the laws of vector addition. Electric field intensity is a vector (force per unit charge, having the direction of the force). Electric current has a direction in circuits but adds algebraically like a scalar (violating vector addition). Charge and potential are standard scalars.
