Question

Figure shows two containers $P$ and $Q$ with same base area $A$ and each filled upto same height with same liquid. Select the correct alternative.

• A. $P_x>P_y$
• B. $P_x<P_y$
• C. $P_x=P_y$
• D. Cannot be determined

Answer 1

The correct option is C $P_x=P_y$

The level of water above both the points $\left(P_x\&P_y\right)$ is equal. So, the pressure will be same in both the containers $P$ and $Q$ irrespective of the base areas.
$\Rightarrow P_x=P_y$
