How you guys are taking G=2. 52?

Please explain.

@Balvinder.

Even if the absolute density is given, we get relative density by dividing it by density of water which is in our case 1g/cc and absolute density should have been 2.52 g/cc.

It should have been Relative Density instead of absolute density.
