A thin uniform cylindrical shell, closed at both ends, is partially filled with water. It is floating vertical in water in half- submerged state. If \rho_c is the relative density of the material of the shell with respect to water, then the correct statement is that the shell is [JEE Adv 2012 P2]

Correct Answer is : more than half-filled if ρc is less than 0.5.

more than half-filled if \rho_c is less than 0.5.

more than half-filled if \rho_c is more than 1.0.

half-filled if \rho_c is more than 0.5.

less than half-filled if \rho_c is less than 0.5.
