  1. $10$ percent

  2. $20$ percent

  3. $31$ percent

  4. none of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Let  V is the total volume of iceberg
       ${ V } _{ sub }$ = volume of iceberg submerged
        ${ \rho  } _{ b }$= density of iceberg = 900 Kg/m3
         ${ \rho  } _{ w }$= density of water = 1000 Kg/m3
 So, for the flotation of body,
             weight of body= weight of water displaced
           $\Rightarrow{ \rho  } _{ b }V={ \rho  } _{ w }{ V } _{ sub }$
           $\Rightarrow \dfrac { { V } _{ sub } }{ V } =\dfrac { { \rho  } _{ b } }{ { \rho  } _{ w } } $
substracting both side from 1, we get
             $\Rightarrow 1-\dfrac { { V } _{ sub } }{ V } =1-\dfrac { { \rho  } _{ b } }{ { \rho  } _{ w } } $
            $\Rightarrow \dfrac { V-{ V } _{ sub } }{ V } =\dfrac { { \rho  } _{ w }-{ \rho  } _{ b } }{ { \rho  } _{ w } } $
             Converting it in percentage,
              $\Rightarrow \dfrac { V-{ V } _{ sub } }{ V } \times 100=\dfrac { { \rho  } _{ w }-{ \rho  } _{ b } }{ { \rho  } _{ w } } \times 100$
by  substituting values, we get
            percentage volume outside the water= $\dfrac { 1000-900 }{ 1000 } \times 100=10$%
