Solution

The correct option is D $P_{2} = P_{4} > P_{1} = P_{3}$
Pressure inside a liquid depends on the depth of the point from the surface. Pressure increases with the depth of the liquid.

Hence, pressure due to the liquid column in container 2 and 4 is same and is greater than that of container 1 and 3.
