Correct Answer

C

Explanation

To find the relative density of the liquid X, we can use the formula:

Relative density = (Weight in air)/(Weight in air - Weight in water)

Relative density = (10.00 N)/(10.00 N - 6.00 N)
Relative density = 10.00 N / 4.00 N
Relative density = 2.50

Therefore, the relative density of the liquid X is 2.50.
