Solution

The correct option is D 7.01 bar

PG1=5 bar
PG2=1 bar
Patm=1.01 bar
For pressure gauge G2,
Absolute pressure
=Atmospheric pr+Gauge pr
pabs=patm+pG2=1.01+1=2.01 bar
=Local atmospheric pr. for pr. gauge G1
=(patm)1
For pressure gauge G1
Absolute pressure = Local atm. pressure+Gauge pressure
P=(Patm)1+PG1
= 2.01 + 5 = 7.01 bar
