Question

There are two similar beakers A and B. The beaker A is filled with water and beaker B is filled with brine solution. The pressure of water at the base of beaker A is

• A. more than beaker B
• B. less than beaker B
• C. same as beaker B
• D. none of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B less than beaker B

The pressure of water at the base of beaker A is less than beaker B.
Because brine solution is more dense than water therefore it exerts a greater pressure at the lower end than that of water.
