In the hare's apparatus, water rises to a height of 26.5 cm in one limb. if a liquid rises to a height of 20.4 cm in the other limb, what is the relative density of the liquid?

this is wrong.
RD= height in liquid
-----------------
height of equal mass of water
20.4/26.5 = 0.7698 ~ 0.8(A)
The correct answer is D...We were asked to find density of liquid not solid assuming it was solid....d answer would've been 0.8
Relative density = density or height of liquid ÷ density or height of water
R.D = 20.4/26.5
= 0.8
Option A
Remember that R. D= density of liquid/density of water so here, R. D should be hight of liquid/hight of water and not the other way.
And who told you people that R.D=height in liquid/height in water...pls check your textbook before you comment
my school na the correct answer is option A because RELATIVE DENSITY OF A LIQUID=HEIGHT OF THE LIQUID DIVIDED BY HEIGHT OF WATER pls make necessary corrections
