Solution

The correct option is B

False


The given statement is wrong. In a liquid, the pressure at a point is due to the weight of the liquid overlying a unit area. The liquid pressure increases with the increase in depth as the weight of the liquid overlying a unit area is more. Consider a real-time example as the deeper you go under the sea, the greater is the pressure of the water.
