In the making of an alloy, a metal of density \(n_1\) and another metal of density \(n_2\) are used. If the masses of the two metals used are \(m_1\) and \(m_2\) respectively, then the density of the alloy is:
1. \( \left(\frac{\mathrm{m}_1+\mathrm{m}_2}{\mathrm{n}_1+\mathrm{n}_2}\right) \)

2. \( \frac{\mathrm{m}_1+\mathrm{m}_2}{\left(\frac{\mathrm{m}_1}{\mathrm{n}_1}+\frac{\mathrm{m}_2}{\mathrm{n}_2}\right)}\)

3. \( \frac{\mathrm{m}_1+\mathrm{m}_2}{\left(\frac{\mathrm{m}_1+\mathrm{m}_2}{\mathrm{n}_2+\mathrm{n}_1}\right)} \)

4. \( \left(\frac{\mathrm{n}_1+\mathrm{n}_2}{2}\right) \)

A metal block floats at the interface of two liquids with \(\frac13\) of its volume in the upper liquid \((A)\) and \(\frac23\) in the lower liquid \((B).\) The densities of the metal, liquid \(A,\) and liquid \(B\) are \(\rho,~ \rho_{\Large_A}~, \rho_{\Large_B}\) respectively. Then:

1. \(\rho_{\Large_B}=2\rho_{\Large_A}\) 2. \(\rho=\frac13\rho_{\Large_A}+\frac23\rho_{\Large_B}\)
3. \(\rho=\frac23\rho_{\Large_A}+\frac13\rho_{\Large_B}\) 4. \(\rho=\frac13\sqrt{\rho_{\Large_A}\rho_{\Large_B}}\)

A piece of wax weighs \(x~\text g\) in the air. A piece of metal is found to weight \(y~\text g\) in water. It is tied to the wax and both together weigh \(z~\text g\) in water. Then, the specific gravity of wax \((z>y)\) is:
1. \(\dfrac{x}{y}\) 2. \(\dfrac{y}{x}\)
3. \(\dfrac{x}{{x}{-}\left({{z}{-}{y}}\right)}\) 4. \(\dfrac{x}{{x}{-}{z}}\)
