okay just do it like this.
use the density of the object in air straight.

but first get your density of solid in kerosine first. like this RD=4.8-3.2=1.6.

then you get the raitio of density of solid in air and in kerosene, by. Ratio of Da(air)/Dk(kerosene)= 4.8/1.6=3 this is easier.

This is convincing

how did you calculate for the "equal volume of water" in both cases i.e for relative density of both the solid and the liquid
