answer is (3)
i.e. 650 gm

Explanation:

Upthrust on ball = weight of displaced water
=#V sigmag=(m/rho)sigma g#
=#40/0.8*1*g#
=#50g# dyne or, #50gm#
As the ball is sunk into the water with a pin by applying downward force equal to upthrust on it.
So reading of weighing pan = weight of water + downward force against upthrust
= 600 + 50 = 650 gm
