The spring balance $A$ reads $2 \, kg$ with a block $m$ suspended from it. $A$ balance $B$ reads $5 \, kg$ when a beaker filled with liquid is put on the pan of the balance. The two balances are now arranged such that the hanging mass is inside the liquid as shown in the figure. In this situation:

  • A
    The balance $A$ will read more than $2 \, kg$.
  • B
    The balance $B$ will read more than $5 \, kg$.
  • C
    The balance $A$ will read less than $2 \, kg$ and $B$ will read more than $5 \, kg$.
  • D
    Both $(b)$ and $(c)$.

$A$ soft plastic bottle,filled with water of density $1 \text{ g/cc}$,contains an inverted glass test-tube with some air (ideal gas) trapped inside,as shown in the figure. The test-tube has a mass of $5 \text{ g}$,and it is made of thick glass with a density of $2.5 \text{ g/cc}$. Initially,the bottle is sealed at atmospheric pressure $P_0 = 10^5 \text{ Pa}$,such that the volume of the trapped air is $V_0 = 3.3 \text{ cc}$. When the bottle is squeezed from the outside at a constant temperature,the pressure inside increases and the volume of the trapped air decreases. It is observed that the test-tube begins to sink at a pressure $P_0 + \Delta P$ without changing its orientation. At this pressure,the volume of the trapped air is $V_0 - \Delta V$.
Let $\Delta V = X \text{ cc}$ and $\Delta P = Y \times 10^3 \text{ Pa}$.
$(1)$ The value of $X$ is
$(2)$ The value of $Y$ is
