A steel wire is suspended vertically from a rigid support. When loaded with a weight in air, it extends by $l_a$ and when the weight is immersed completely in water, the extension is reduced to $l_w$. Then the relative density of material of the weight is

  • A

    $l_a / l_w$

  • B

    $\frac{{{l_a}}}{{{l_a} - {l_w}}}$

  • C

    $l_w /(l_a - l_w )$

  • D

    $l_w / l_a$
