The spring balance $A$ reads $2 \, kg$ with a block $m$ suspended from it. $A$ balance $B$ reads $5 \, kg$ when a beaker filled with liquid is put on the pan of the balance. The two balances are now arranged such that the hanging mass is inside the liquid as shown in the figure. In this situation:

  • A
    The balance $A$ will read more than $2 \, kg$.
  • B
    The balance $B$ will read more than $5 \, kg$.
  • C
    The balance $A$ will read less than $2 \, kg$ and $B$ will read more than $5 \, kg$.
  • D
    Both $(b)$ and $(c)$.
