Write the following steps in a sequential order to show that the volume of a liquid displaced by a solid, which is insoluble and completely immersed in a liquid, increases with increase in the volume of the solid.
(a) The displaced liquid is collected in a beaker and its volume is measured with the help of a measuring cylinder.
(b) Different objects, such as glass, stone, etc., of different volumes are immersed in different liquids, such as water, kerosene, etc.
(c) The phenomenon is observed at different places and different times.
(d) It is observed that the volume of displaced liquid increases as the volume of the solid increases.
