The density 400cm3 of palm oil was 0.9gcm-3 before frying. If the density of the oil was 0.6gm-3 after frying,assuming no loss of oil due to spilling, its new volume was
360cm3
600cm3
240cm3
800cm3
450cm3

Explanation

Since no loss of oil,

Density x volume = constant

D1V1 = D2 x V2

0.9 x 400 = V2

V2 = 600cm3
