Two identical non-conducting solid spheres of same mass and charge are suspended in air from a common point by two non-conducting, massless strings of same length. At equilibrium, the angle between the strings is $\alpha$. The spheres are now immersed in a dielectric liquid of density $800 kg m ^{-3}$ and dielectric constant $21$ . If the angle between the strings remains the same after the immersion, then

$(A)$ electric force between the spheres remains unchanged

$(B)$ electric force between the spheres reduces

$(C)$ mass density of the spheres is $840 kg m ^{-3}$

$(D)$ the tension in the strings holding the spheres remains unchanged
