Correct Answer: Both 1 and 2
Solution : The correct option is Both 1 and 2 .
When a body is immersed in a liquid, it is subjected to two major forces. The first is the weight of the body, which pulls it downward owing to gravity. Upthrust (buoyant force) is the second force that propels the body upward. According to Archimedes' principle, this upthrust is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by the body. If the weight of the body is less than the upthrust, it will float; otherwise, it will sink.
