I think this answer is true only in the case of water not for other fluid.

Density of liquid = it's specific gravity * 1 gram/m^3.
= 1000kg/m^3.

Harsh Shukla said:   6 years ago
Density of water = 1000kg/m3.
The specific gravity of water = 1.
How is 1 numerically equal to 1000.
Answer = False.

Specific Gravity and relative density are not the same but, numerically equal.

So, Answer is B.

Rupali said:   6 years ago
@Brij kishor. According to your answer, there should be proportional not numerically equal.

GAURAV said:   6 years ago
I agree with Rn Singh. Both are numerically same and answer is correct.

Akshay said:   6 years ago
Specific gravity says that's used fluid is how time in weight of tested fluid(water).

So it can't say that the density May equal to the specific gravity.

So answer will be B correct.

Why to discuss water only?

Fluid name is not mentioned. What about other fluids?

So it must be false right?

Unit should be gram/cm^3.

Sg has no unit.

That's why The specific gravity of pure water is taken as unity.
