Ice sinks in methanol, but floats on water. From this we can conclude: A The density of ice in methanol must be different from that in water. B The density of water must be less than the density of methanol. C The density of ice must be greater than the density of water. D The density of methanol must be less than the density of water.

D The density of methanol must be less than the density of water.

Explanation:

Ice sinks in methanol, so the density of ice is greater than the density of methanol.

Ice floats in water, so the density of ice is less than the density of water.

Since the density of ice is the same in each case, the density of methanol must be less than the density of water.

ρ_methanol < ρ_ice < ρ_water
