$A$ cube of external side length $10 \ cm$ has an inner cubical cavity of side length $5 \ cm$. The density of the inner portion is twice that of the outer portion. If this cube is just floating in a liquid of density $2 \ g/cm^3$, find the density of the inner portion.

  • A
    $\frac{8}{9} \ g/cm^3$
  • B
    $\frac{16}{9} \ g/cm^3$
  • C
    $\frac{32}{9} \ g/cm^3$
  • D
    $\frac{5}{4} \ g/cm^3$
