A jar filled with two non mixing liquids 1 and 2 having densities $ρ_{1}$ and $ρ_{2}$ respectively. A solid ball, made of a material of density $ρ_{3}$ , is dropped in the jar. It comes to equilibrium in the position shown in the figure. Which of the following is true for $ρ_{1}, ρ_{2}$ and $ρ_{3}$ ?

As liquid 1 floats above liquid 2 , ρ 1 ​ < ρ 2 ​ The ball is unable to sink into liquid 2 , ρ 3 ​ < ρ 2 ​ The ball is unable to rise over liquid 1 , Thus, ​ ρ 1 ​ < ρ 3 ​ ρ 1 ​ < ρ 3 ​ < ρ 2 ​ ​
