(c) Statement 1 is true but statement 2 is false. Specific gravity is the ratio of the density (mass of a unit volume) of a substance to the density (mass of the same unit volume) of a reference substance. Mercury has a specific gravity of 13.56 whereas specific gravity of iron is 7.21.Thus, iron ball floats on mercury.
