A: An ice block with lead short is floating in water. When ice melt completely water level slightly drops.
R: When ice block with less shot is placed in water, volume of displaced water is more then that of the ice block

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

Both A and R are true and R is not the correct explanation of A

The correct answer is B because both the assertion and the reason are true, but the reason doesn't explain the assertion. The water level drops because the lead shot displaces less water when submerged than the ice block did.
