(a)  increases

(b) decreases

(c) remains unchanged

(d) insufficient data

Answer 1

Correct option (a)  increases

Explanation :

In sugar solution ice was less immersed due to high density of liquid. But with melting ice, density of sugar solution gets decreased and ice gets more immersed, displacing more liquid. So, liquid level will increases.
