Suppose you have two containers with liquid in them. One has a density of 760 kg/m³ and the other has a density of 910 kg /m³. If an object floats in one container and sinks in the other, the density of the object A) has a value equal to the difference in densities of the two liquids. B) must have a value equal to the average densities of the two liquids. C) has a value less than 760 kg/m³ or greater than 910 kg/m³ D) has a value between 760 kg/m³ and 910 kg/m³.

For an object to float in one liquid and sink in another, its density must be more than the density of the liquid it sinks in and less than the density of the liquid it floats in. Therefore, the object's density is between 760 kg/m^3 and 910 kg/m^3.
