Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

  • Volume of lead ball = Volume of the water content That has risen from the original height. Let the rise in water level $ =h $ $ \frac{4}{3}\times \pi \times 6\times 6\times 6=\pi \times 24\times 24\times h $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ h=\frac{4\times 6\times 6\times 6}{3\times 24\times 24}=\frac{1}{2}=0.5cm $
