A solid sphere, a cone and a cylinder are floating in water. All have same mass, density and radius. Let f_1, f_2 \text { and } f_3 are the fraction of their volumes inside the water and h_1, h_2 \text { and } h_3 depths inside water. Then

Option: 1

f_1=f_2=f_3


Option: 2

f_3>f_2>f_1


Option: 3

h_3<h_1


Option: 4

h_3<h_2

Fraction of volume immersed is given by f=\frac{\rho_s}{\rho_l}

\rho_s \text { and } \rho_l are same. Hence f_1=f_2=f_3,

Base area in third case is uniform. Hence, h_3 is minimum.
