Show Answer
Ans.(c)
Sol.Ice is less dense than water because the orientation of hydrogen bonds causes molecules to push farther apart, which lowers the density.From density=mass/volume, 'm' is directly proportoinal to 'd', when 'v' is same for all.Since, density of water is greater than ice.Therefore, mass of water is greater than ice. Hence, weight of water is also greater than ice.
