A piece of granite floats at the interface of mercury and water contained in a beaker as in figure. If the densities of granite, water and mercury are \rho, \rho_1 and \rho_2 respectively, the ratio of the volume of granite in water to the volume of granite in mercury is

Correct Answer is : ρ2−ρρ−ρ1

\frac{\rho_2-\rho}{\rho-\rho_1}

\frac{\rho_2+\rho}{\rho_1+\rho}
