Arrange the following unknown fluids in the correct order of how they would separate in a beaker, listed from bottom to top, based on the given measurements.

  • A. A, B, C
  • B. A, C, B
  • C. C, A, B
  • D. B, A, C
Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To determine the order of separation in a beaker, we need to consider the densities of the fluids. Density (d) = mass (m) / volume (V). Comparing the densities of the fluids, we find: Fluid A: d = 2060g / 2000mL = 1.03 g/mL, Fluid B: d = 672g / 850mL = 0.79 g/mL, Fluid C: d = 990g / 1100mL = 0.90 g/mL. Since fluids separate in a beaker based on their densities (with the highest density sinking to the bottom), the correct order from bottom to top is B (highest density), then C, and finally A (lowest density). Therefore, the correct answer is A,C,B.
