alleryStart learning →RD 1.5 relative to water means equal volumes have masses in ratio:
ASubstance:water = 5:1
BSubstance:water = 3:2
CSubstance:water = 1:5
DSubstance:water = 2:3
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Substance:water = 3:2
For equal volumes the mass ratio equals the density ratio of one and a half.
