$A$ solid cube is floating in a liquid. The coefficient of linear expansion of the cube is $\alpha$ and the coefficient of volume expansion of the liquid is $\gamma$. On increasing the temperature of the (liquid + cube) system,the cube will sink if

  • A
    $\gamma = 3\alpha$
  • B
    $\gamma > 3\alpha$
  • C
    $\gamma < 3\alpha$
  • D
    $\gamma = 2\alpha$

$A$ wooden block floating in a bucket of water has $\frac{4}{5}$ of its volume submerged. When a certain amount of oil is poured into the bucket,it is found that the block is just under the oil surface with half of its volume under water and half in oil. The density of oil relative to that of water is
