The relative densities of zinc, brass, copper, gold and silver are respectively 7.1, 8.5, 8.9, 19.3, 10.5. A metal ornament which weighs 0.425kg and can displace 50 x 10^-6m³ of water is made of

A. zinc

B. brass

C. copper

D. gold

E. silver

Correct Answer: Option B

Explanation

Density of the metal ornament = Mass of the metal ornament/Volume of the water displaced

D = 0.425/(50 × 10^-6)

D = 8500Kg/m³

R.D = density of object/density of water

R.D =8500/1000

R.D = 8.5
