The cream has lower density (or specific gravity) than milk and density of a mixture depends upon its constituents, depending upon their relative proportions. A decrease on the proportion of lighter constituent will result in the increase of the density of the mixture. So on the removal of cream, the density of milk will increase.

The density changes due to differences in the density between cream and milk. Cream is lighter than water and milk is heavier than water. The average density of whole milk could be close to 1.024g per liter.
When the cream is removed, the density of the milk goes up to about 1.036g per liter, while the density of the cream is about 0.968g per liter.

It will decrease as whole density of milk will decrease when cream is separated as it is a part of milk.

Density of cream is less than density of milk because of this cream floats on the milk.
And hence answer A is correct.
And hence answer A is correct.

DENSITY is mass divided by volume. As cream is separated mass is separated more than volume. Therefore it should decrease.

If the density of the creame is less then the milk then only it will increase. But I never thought or nor I am convinced about the density of milk being more then the creame.

The density of cream is more than the milk, so if it is seperated from the milk, the density of the remaining milk will decrease.
