Pears do not float in water because the pear is more dense than the water. The pear has a high water content, therefore making it more dense. For example, apples float because they are less dense than the water.

No. Apples and pears have to be fermented for a long period of time to have enough alcoholic content to make a large bovine like a cow drunk.

What fruits float out of an apple an orange and a lemon?

An apple will float - that's why you can play bobbing for apples! Oranges will float if they still have their peel on, but if they don't then they sink. I've never tried it with a lemon though, so I'm not sure! Probably the same as oranges in my opinion! Lemons do float due to the peel. Without the peel, though they sink.
