I can't figure out how to set up this problem:

"An object floats in a solution whose density is 1.05 g/mL and it sinks in a solution whose density is 0.950 g/mL. Suppose that the mass of the object is 5.55 g. Which of the following could be its volume?

A.) 5.00mL
B.) 5.10mL
C.) 5.20mL
D.) 5.40mL
E.) 5.90mL

I chose D just kind of making my best guess but I'd really love to understand how to logically figure this out step by step. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

definition of density d=m/V
You can easily calculate range of possible volumes.

some hints
  (1) if the object floats on a liquid with density = 1.05g/mL... is the objects
       density < 1.05 g/mL or > 1.05 g/mL?
  (2) if the object sinks in a liquid with density = 0.950 g/mL...
        is the objects density > or < 0.950 g/mL??
  (3) if the objects density is between 0.950 g/mL and 1.05 g/mL,
       and if the objects mass = 5.55g
       can you use d = mass / V to calculate a range of V's for the object?
  (4) can you sort through the list of possibilities and spot which ones fall in that range?
