$A$ container of mass $M$ containing liquid of mass $m_0$ is kept on a weighing machine. $A$ ball of mass $m$ is released from rest from the given position. Choose the correct option just after the ball is released.

  • A
    Reading of the weighing machine must be equal to $(M + m + m_0)g$.
  • B
    Reading of the weighing machine > $(M + m + m_0)g$ only if the density of the ball < the density of the liquid.
  • C
    Reading of the weighing machine > $(M + m + m_0)g$ if the density of the ball $\neq$ the density of the liquid.
  • D
    Reading of the weighing machine < $(M + m + m_0)g$ if the density of the ball $\neq$ the density of the liquid.
