Thanks all for explaining it.

Right. @Amit.

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

Abhik said:   6 years ago
It should be 1.01.

Sadulla said:   7 years ago
1.0 is the correct answer.

Ajay said:   7 years ago
I think it should be 1 because 981Value is not used anywhere.

C is the correct option.

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.

I agree @Amit.

Specific Gravity is not about to density to density. It's about sp weight to sp weight. Density is 1000unit but Sp Weight is 981.

Now,
1000/1000 = 1 answer is correct.
