951.

The density of 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

A.

360cm3

B.

600cm3

C.

240cm3

D.

800cm3

E.

450cm3

Correct answer is B

Since no loss of oil,

Density x volume = constant

D1V1 = D2 x V2

0.9 x 400 = V2

V2 = 600cm3
