Solution
The correct option is A 6.4 % Its volume in terms of its original volume will be 6.4% of V. Pressure on the surface = 76 cm of Hg = 76 × 13.6 cm of water = 1033.6 cm = 10.3 m of water
Pressure at 150 m depth = 150 + 10.3 m = 160.3 m
Applying Boyle's law, P1V1at surface = P2V2at 150 m depth 10.3 × V1= 160.3 × V2
V2 = 0.0642 V1
= 6.4% of V1
