Question

Figure shows a container filled with water. Which of the following statements is correct about pressure of water?

• A. Pressure at A> Pressure at B> Pressure at C
• B. Pressure at A=Pressure at B=Pressure at C
• C. Pressure at A< Pressure at B>Pressure at C
• D. Pressure at A < Pressure at B < Pressure at C

Answer 1

The correct option is D Pressure at A < Pressure at B < Pressure at C

The pressure inside a liquid at the same depth will be equal. But the liquid pressure differs with the height of the liquid. The pressure of the liquid at a depth is proportional to the depth.($P\propto h$)
Pressure at A< Pressure at B< Pressure at C
