A piece of ice is floating in a glass beaker containing water. When all the ice melts, the level of water in the beaker will:
A. Remain the same
B. Fall
C. First rise, then fall
D. Rise

Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
According to Archimedes' principle, the floating ice displaces a volume of water equal to its own weight. When the ice melts, it transforms into a volume of water that is exactly equal to the volume of water it displaced while floating. Therefore, the water level remains unchanged.
