A hollow glass stopper of relative density 2.5 just sinks in water. The ratio of volume of cavity to that of stopper is
Show Hint
For hollow objects, "just sinks" implies \( \text{Relative Density of material} \times V_{\text{material}} = V_{\text{total}} \).
Here, \( 2.5 V_m = V_m + V_c \), which directly leads to \( 1.5 V_m = V_c \). \
