A solid sphere of radius $R$ and density $\rho$ is attached to one end of a mass-less spring of force constant $k$. The other end of the spring is connected to another solid sphere of radius $R$ and density $3 p$. The complete arrangement is placed in a liquid of density $2 p$ and is allowed to reach equilibrium. The correct statement$(s)$ is (are)

$(A)$ the net elongation of the spring is $\frac{4 \pi R^3 \rho g}{3 k}$

$(B)$ the net elongation of the spring is $\frac{8 \pi R^3 \rho g}{3 k}$

$(C)$ the light sphere is partially submerged.

$(D)$ the light sphere is completely submerged.

On small sphere

$\frac{4}{3} \pi R^3(\rho) g+k x=\frac{4}{3} \pi R^3(2 \rho) g$

on second sphere (large)

$\frac{4}{3} \pi R^3(3 p) g=\frac{4}{3} \pi R^3(2 p) g+k x$

by equation $(i)$ and $(ii)$

$x=\frac{4 \pi R^3 \rho g}{3 k}$

    Two spheres $P$ and $Q$ of equal radii have densities $\rho_1$ and $\rho_2$, respectively. The spheres are connected by a massless string and placed in liquids $L_1$ and $L_2$ of densities $\sigma_1$ and $\sigma_2$ and viscosities $\eta_1$ and $\eta_2$, respectively. They float in equilibrium with the sphere $P$ in $L_1$ and sphere $Q$ in $L _2$ and the string being taut (see figure). If sphere $P$ alone in $L _2$ has terminal velocity $\overrightarrow{ V }_{ P }$ and $Q$ alone in $L _1$ has terminal velocity $\overrightarrow{ V }_{ Q }$, then

    $(A)$ $\frac{\left|\overrightarrow{ V }_{ P }\right|}{\left|\overrightarrow{ V }_{ Q }\right|}=\frac{\eta_1}{\eta_2}$ $(B)$ $\frac{\left|\overrightarrow{ V }_{ P }\right|}{\left|\overrightarrow{ V }_{ Q }\right|}=\frac{\eta_2}{\eta_1}$
