A body of volume 100 cm³ and density 0.8 g/cm³ floats in water. Volume submerged is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A body of volume 100 cm³ and density 0.8 g/cm³ floats in water. Volume submerged is
A. 20 cm³
B. 80 cm³
C. 50 cm³
D. 100 cm³
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Weight = buoyancy => ρ_obj V_total g = ρ_water V_sub g => 0.8×100 = 1×V_sub => V_sub = 80 cm³.

Question #1
The area under a velocity-time graph represents:
A. Both displacement and distance travelled
B. Distance travelled
C. Displacement
D. Acceleration

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
The area under velocity-time graph gives displacement when direction is considered (signed area), and distance travelled when absolute values are taken (unsigned area). For unidirectional motion, both are equal. Velocity is rate of change of displacement, so integrating velocity over time yields displacement. This graphical interpretation is fundamental in kinematics. Memory tip: Slope of v-t graph = acceleration; area under v-t graph = displacement. Competitive exams often combine graph analysis with conceptual understanding to test depth of knowledge in motion topics.

Question #2
The power of a lens is +2 D. Its focal length is
A. 50 cm
B. 2 m
C. 20 cm
D. 0.5 m

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Power P = 1/f (in metre). f = 1/P = 1/2 = 0.5 m = 50 cm. Positive power indicates convex lens. For concave lens, power negative. Dioptre (D) is SI unit of power. Remember f in metres.
