Question

Three beakers (A, B and C) of different shapes as shown in figure are filled upto the same height with liquids of different densities $d_1,d_{2}and{d}_3$ respectively. What will be the sequence of pressure at the bottom of beakers A, B and C. given that $(d_1>d_2>d_3)$

• A. A < B < C
• B. A > B = C
• C. A = B = C
• D. A > B > C

Answer 1

The correct option is D A > B > C

Since pressure at a point in liquid is, P = hdg. Since height of the liquids is the same in all the three beakers and pressure is directly proportional to the density of the liquid which means that pressure for A > B > C.
