Object floats with 40% volume submerged. Density ratio (object/liquid) is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Object floats with 40% volume submerged. Density ratio (object/liquid) is:
A. 2.5
B. 0.4
C. 0.6
D. 1.4
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Floatation: weight = buoyant force ⇒ ρ_obj·V·g = ρ_liq·V_sub·g ⇒ ρ_obj/ρ_liq = V_sub/V = 0.4. Fraction submerged equals density ratio. Memory tip: 'Submerged fraction = ρ_object/ρ_fluid'. Direct Archimedes' principle application frequently tested in buoyancy sections of competitive exams.
