Two objects are dropped into beaker with layers of oil, rubbing alcohol, water and corn syrup. These objects are made of the same substance, but object X is twice as large, so twice as heavy as object Z.

Which of these two objects will settle further down into the beaker, X, Z, both or neither?
(My teacher labeled this as a trick question)

It all depends on the objects' densities ,because if they're less dense than the oil they will not even sink to the bottom of the beaker
