Question
Figure shows a container filled with water. Which of the following statements is correct about pressure of water?
Options
Pressure at A > Pressure at B > Pressure at C
Pressure at A = Pressure at B = Pressure at C
Pressure at A < Pressure at B > Pressure at C
Pressure at A < Pressure at B < Pressure at C

Solution
Pressure at A < Pressure at B < Pressure at C
Explanation:
Pressure at A < Pressure at B < Pressure at C because water pressure increases with increase in depth.
