The spring balance $A$ reads $2\, kg$ with a block m suspended from it. $A $ balance $B$ reads $5 \,kg $ when a beaker filled with liquid is put on the pan of the balance. The two balances are now so arranged that the hanging mass is inside the liquid as shown in figure. In this situation
  • AThe balance $A$ will read more than $2\, kg$
  • BThe balance $B$ will read more than $5 \,kg$
  • CThe balance $A$ will read less than $2\, kg$ and $B$ will read more than $5\, kg$
  • DBoth $(b)$ and $(c)$

    An open-ended U-tube of uniform cross-sectional area contains water (density $10^3 kg m ^{-3}$ ). Initially the water level stands at $0.29 m$ from the bottom in each arm. Kerosene oil (a water-immiscible liquid) of density $800 kg m ^{-3}$ is added to the left arm until its length is $0.1 m$, as shown in the schematic figure below. The ratio $\left(\frac{h_1}{h_2}\right)$ of the heights of the liquid in the two arms is-
