Identify the pair in which the given solid will float when placed in the listed liquid. (a) Solid density 0.90 g cm−30.90\,\text{g cm}^{-3} ; Liquid: Kerosene (0.80 g cm−3)(0.80\,\text{g cm}^{-3}) (b) Solid density 0.92 g cm−30.92\,\text{g cm}^{-3} ; Liquid: Water (1.00 g cm−3)(1.00\,\text{g cm}^{-3}) (c) Solid density 1.00 g cm−31.00\,\text{g cm}^{-3} ; Liquid: Water (1.00 g cm−3)(1.00\,\text{g cm}^{-3}) (d) Solid density 1.20 g cm−31.20\,\text{g cm}^{-3} ; Liquid: Kerosene (0.80 g cm−3)(0.80\,\text{g cm}^{-3})
