    Explanation:

    Given that

    Weight of the aluminium block = 10 N

    Weight of the aluminium lead = 10 N

    We know that

    Weight = Volume x Density x g

    Wt = V x ρ x g

    The density of aluminium,ρ=2810 kg/m³

    The density of lead,ρ=11343 kg/m³

    From above we can say that density of lead is more than the density of aluminium that is why the volume of the aluminium will be more than the volume of the lead for same weight. So aluminium will displace the water but lead will not displace the water.

    So the answer is, lead does not displace the water.
