Density = mass/volume.

Density of the body = 3000/(1.5*1*2) = 1000kg/m^3.
Sp.gravity of the body = density of the body/density of water.
Sp.gravity = 1000/1000 = 1.

C is the correct option.

I think it should be 1 because 981Value is not used anywhere.

1000/981=1.01 not 1.1

So, please correct the answer.

Weight in air=weight in water + buoyant force.
=3000+(sp gr of water* g * volume displaced).
=3000+(1000*10*3).
=33000 N.

So,
Mass of body=33000/10.
=3300 kg.

Density=3300/3.
=1100.

Sp gr.=1100/1000.
=1.1.

I think if the weight is in kg then G=2.0 but it is in N then G=1.1.

1.0 is the correct answer.

It should be 1.01.

The Density of object is mass/volume not weight/volume.

Right. @Amit.
