This is because the ice block initially displaces the amount of water it would replace before it finally meltdown and fill up
Explanation;
The volume of the ice has already been displaced when immersed in water so even if the ice melts the volume of water remains thesame
The key is that the ice, while floating, displaces a volume of water that weighs the same as the ice. When the ice melts, it turns into a volume of water that weighs the same as the ice. Since the weight is the same, the volume of water displaced before melting is the same as the volume of water after melting.
Therefore, the water level in the container remains the same
The answer is (B) becos the ice displaces the same amount of water that is to be turned to ice
If the ice sank then the answer would be B. but it was floating. it did not displace the same volume of water as itself. it just displaced a volume of water equal to its weight.
