Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

The density of an object is its mass per unit volume, that is the ratio of mass to volume occupied. It is given by:

Density = mass / volume

A body floats in a liquid when the buoyant force (weight of displaced liquid) is more than the weight of the body, it sinks if the buoyant force is less than the weight of the body and remains at the same depth if the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the body.

The density of Kerosene is less that the density of water. So a body displaces a greater weight of water than that of kerosene, and hence floats in water but sinks in kerosene.
