Question

Kerosene floats on water. With reference to the given figure, choose the correct option.

• A. Pressure at A < Pressure at B
• B. Density of water = Density of kerosene
• C. Density of water < Density of kerosene
• D. Pressure at A > Pressure at B

Answer 1

The correct option is D Pressure at A > Pressure at B

Since kerosene floats on water, density of kerosene will be lesser than that of water. Also, liquid pressure is higher in denser fluids at the same depth. Therefore, pressure at A is greater than pressure at B.
