In a Hare's apparatus, the height of water and a liquid X are 0.3m and 0.5m respectively. The relative density of x is?

0.4

0.6

1.7

2.0

For Hare's apparatus

Relative density = \(\frac{h_w}{h_l}\)

Given: height of liquid = 0.5cm, height of water = 0.3cm

Relative density = \(\frac{0.3}{0.5}\) = 0.6
