Two identical solid pieces, one of gold and other of silver, when immersed completely in water exhibit equal weights. When weighed in air (given that density of gold is greater than that of silver)

Two identical solid pieces, one of gold and other of silver, when immersed completely in water exhibit equal weights. When weighed in air (given that density of gold is greater than that of silver) Correct Answer the silver piece will weighmore

As it is said that density of gold is greater than that of density of silver, so silver occupies a greater volume than gold. So it has more upthrust from the water, although they both show the same weight under water, there is more silver present. Hence silver piece will weigh more.

A king ordered to make a crown from 8 kg of gold and 2 kg of silver. The goldsmith took away some amount of gold and replaced it by an equal amount of silver and the crown when made, weighted 10 kg. The king knows that under water gold loses \(\frac{1}{20}th\) of its weight, while silver loses \(\frac{1}{10}th\). When the crown was weighted under water, it was 9.25 kg. How much gold was stolen by the goldsmith?
