Answer:

Volume of the marble is 16 ml.

Initial volume present in graduated cylinder=45 ml.

Final volume in graduated cylinder after marble is dropped=61 ml.

Volume of water displaced=volume displaced by marble.

Volume displaced by marble=final volume in cylinder-initial volume in cylinder

Volume displaced=61ml-45ml=16ml

So volume of marble=16ml.
