: An iron needle placed carefully on the surface of water may float, whereas a solid ball of same material will always sink
: The buoyancy on an object depends both on the material and shape of object.
: The buoyancy on an object depends both on the material and shape of object.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
(A) is true, (R) is false
Option C is correct because while the assertion is true due to surface tension, the reason is false. Buoyancy depends on the volume of fluid displaced, not the material or shape directly.

Ice pieces are floating in beaker A containing water also in a beaker B containing miscible liquid of specific gravity 1.2. When ice melts, the level of
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
liquid in B increases
Option D (liquid in B decreases) is correct because when ice melts in a liquid with a specific gravity greater than 1, the volume of the melted ice (water) is less than the volume of the liquid it displaced when it was ice, causing the liquid level to decrease.
