Question is incorrect. Buoyant force is always equal to weight of fluid displaced. A body will sink whn buoyant force is less than weight of the body

How can it be the correct answer?

The value of Buoyancy force is same as the weight of the liquid displaced by the body.

The answer is c because if density of solid is greater than density of liquid then the solid will sink.

Aniruddhsinh said:   7 years ago
The answer is right because an upward force is less than the body will sink down.

Ashwini said:   8 years ago
Buoyancy force means upthrust force.

Answer is right.

Amol and kundan said:   8 years ago
Greater than is the correct answer.

Shiplu said:   8 years ago
This question may not be valid.

Equal to is the correct answer.

Ashutosh said:   9 years ago
Force of buoyancy = weight of liquid displaced. This is true always.
