Question

Two liquids A and B are taken in two separate identical containers to the same height of the column then the pressure exerted by the two liquids in their respective containers is _______.

• A. same if their densities are same.
• B. different if their densities are different
• C. different if their densities are same
• D. none of these

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B)

different if their densities are different
same if their densities are same.

Pressure in a container of height h in a liquid of density =$\rho$ is = $\rho gh$

so as given in the question , height of the container is same so pressure now depends on the density of the liquid.

so now if density of liquids in the two container is same than the pressure would be same .

and if liquids in the two container have diffrent densities than pressure in the two containers would be diffrent .

so option (A) and option(B) ids correct.
