(a) $R = \rho \frac{l}{A} \Rightarrow \frac{{{R_1}}}{{{R_2}}} = \frac{{{A_2}}}{{{A_1}}}(\rho ,L$ constant) $ \Rightarrow \frac{{{A_1}}}{{{A_2}}} = \frac{{{R_2}}}{{{R_1}}} = 2$
Now, when a body dipped in water, loss of weight $ = V{\sigma _L}g = AL{\sigma _L}g$
So, $\frac{{{{{\rm{(Loss \,of\, weight)}}}_{\rm{1}}}}}{{{{{\rm{(Loss\, of\, wight)}}}_{\rm{2}}}}} = \frac{{{A_1}}}{{{A_2}}} = 2;$ so $A$ has more loss of weight.
