The correct option is (D) 193 g.

Explanation:

Loss of weight in water = Weight in air − Weight in water

= 210−198 

= 12 grams

Volume of the crown in cm= Loss of weight in grams =12 cm

Expression for RD:

RD = Weight in air/Loss of weight

Let,

mass of gold = x

Hence,

Loss of weight of gold + Loss of weight of copper = 12 grams

x/19.3 + 210−x/8.5 =12

8.5 x − 19.3 x + 4053 = 1968.6

10.8 x = 2084.4

x = 193 grams
