A leak proof cylinder of length 1 m  , made of a metal which has very low coefficient of expansion is floating vertically in water at 0 ? C  such that its height above the water surface is 20 c m  . When the temperature of water is increased to 4 ? C  , the height of the cylinder above the water surface becomes  21 c m . The density of water at T = 4 ? C  , relative to the density at T = 0 ? C  is close to:

Option 1 - <p>1.01</p>
Option 2 - <p>1.26</p>
Option 3 - <p>1.04<br>&lt;!-- [if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--&gt;<br>&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;</p>
Option 4 - <p>1.03</p>
