Assertion (A) : When a body is dipped in liquid fully or partially, there is a decrease in weight. 

Reason (R) : The decrease in weight is due to the higher density of the displaced liquid.

  • A.Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
  • B.Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
  • C.A is true but R is false.
  • D.A is false but R is true.

Answer: C

Correct answer: A is true but R is false.

A body immersed in a liquid does weigh less, so A is true. But by Archimedes’ principle the loss equals the weight of the liquid displaced, not any “higher density” of that liquid - which need not be higher at all. R is false.
