Two non-mixing liquids of densities and \(n 𝜌 (n>1)\) are put in a container. The height of each liquid is \(h.\) A solid cylinder floats with its axis vertical and length \(pL  (𝑝 < 1)\) in the denser liquid. The density of the cylinder is \(d.\) The density \(d\) is equal to:
1. \({[2+(n+1)p}] 𝜌\)
2. \([{2+(n-1)p}] 𝜌\)
3. \([{1+(n-1)p}] 𝜌\)
4. \([{1+(n+1)p}] 𝜌\)
