The correct answer is: 0.98 m

Weight of the bowl=mg=Vρg=23π[(D2)3-(d2)3]ρg, where D is the outer diameter, d is the inner diameter and ρ is the density of bowl.
Weight of the liquid displaced by the bowl=V'σg=23πD23σg, where σ is the density of the liquid.
For the flotation,

23π(D2)3σg=23π[(D2)3-(d2)3]ρg

By solving we get d=0.98 m
