The density of fresh water is _________ the density of salt water.
Question

The density of fresh water is _________ the density of salt water.

A.

more than

B.

equal to

C.

negligible compared with

D.

less than

Correct option is D


Salt water is heavier (more dense) than fresh water (because of the salt dissolved in the water) so things have different buoyancies in the different types of water.
When salt is dissolved in freshwater, the density of the water increases due to the increase in the mass of the water, this is the reason why the density of salt-water is more the density of fresh water. Density is defined as mass per unit volume.
