A homogeneous solid cylinder of length $L$$(L < H/2)$. Cross-sectional area $A/5$ is immersed such that it floats with its axis vertical at the liquid-liquid interface with length $L/4$ in the denser liquid as shown in the fig. The lower density liquid is open to atmosphere having pressure ${P_0}$. Then density $D$  of solid is given by
  • A$\frac{5}{4}d$
  • B$\frac{4}{5}d$
  • C$d$
  • D$\frac{d}{5}$
