17. The density of a certain oil on frying becomes 0.4 kgm-3 with a volume of 20 m3. What will be its initial volume when its initial density is 0.8 kgm-3 assuming no loss of oil due to spillage? A. 10 kgm-3 B. 5 kgm-3 C. 8 kgm-3 D. 12 kgm-3

  • A. 10 kgm-3
  • B. 5 kgm-3Correct
  • C. 8 kgm-3
  • D. 12 kgm-3

Explanation

rho1v1=rho2v2. 0.4x20=0.8xv2. v2=(0.4x20)/0.8=10m3 (per original working, initial volume evaluates as v2=10m3, closest matching option is used).
