Solution

The correct options are
A At sealevel, the mercury inside the tube stands upto 76 cm.
B The pressure exerted inside a liquid is same at all points along the horizontal plane.
C The vertical height of the liquid column is independent of the shape and size of the tube.
At sea level, the mercury inside the tube stands up to 76 cm. The pressure exerted inside a liquid is same at all points along the horizontal plane. The vertical height of the liquid column is independent of the shape and size of the tube. The height of the barometric liquid column is independent of nature of liquid used.

Q. Figure below shows U-Tube manometer used to measure absolute pressure of the gas in the bulb centre "O". Mercury and water are immiscible liquids. At this unknown pressure of gas at O, the interface between the liquids is at the bottom most point of the U-Tube. Ignore the size of tube and radius of curvature of liquids (meniscus effects & capillarity effects). The height of mercury column is given as 75 cm. The pressure of gas at O is : (Neglect gas column since gas is of lower density).
