The normal density of a material is $\rho$ and its bulk modulus of elasticity is $K$. The magnitude of increase in density of the material,when a pressure $P$ is applied uniformly on all sides,will be

  • A
    $\frac{\rho K}{P}$
  • B
    $\frac{\rho P}{K}$
  • C
    $\frac{K}{\rho P}$
  • D
    $\frac{PK}{\rho}$
