Two solids $A$ and $B$ float in water. It is observed that $A$ floats with $\frac{1}{2}$ of its body immersed in water and $B$ floats with $\frac{1}{4}$ of its volume above the water level. The ratio of the density of $A$ to that of $B$ is

  • A
    $4:3$
  • B
    $2:3$
  • C
    $3:4$
  • D
    $1:2$
