In making an alloy,a substance of specific gravity $s_1$ and mass $m_1$ is mixed with another substance of specific gravity $s_2$ and mass $m_2$. Then,the specific gravity of the alloy is:

  • A
    $\left( \frac{m_1 + m_2}{s_1 + s_2} \right)$
  • B
    $\left( \frac{s_1 s_2}{m_1 + m_2} \right)$
  • C
    $\left[ \frac{m_1 + m_2}{(m_1/s_1 + m_2/s_2)} \right]$
  • D
    $\left[ \frac{(m_1/s_1 + m_2/s_2)}{m_1 + m_2} \right]$

An open-ended $U$-tube of uniform cross-sectional area contains water (density $10^3 \ kg \ m^{-3}$). Initially,the water level stands at $0.29 \ m$ from the bottom in each arm. Kerosene oil (a water-immiscible liquid) of density $800 \ kg \ m^{-3}$ is added to the left arm until its length is $0.1 \ m$,as shown in the schematic figure. The ratio $\left(\frac{h_1}{h_2}\right)$ of the heights of the liquid in the two arms is-
