Yes Meghna.

The water level decreases.

This is because the volume of the water displaced is equal to the wt. of stones when the stones are in the boat. When the stones sink the volume of water displaced is much less than the weight of the stone.

Please read Archimides principle if you want to understand the concept involved.
