    A liquid X of density \[3.36\,g/c{{m}^{3}}\]is poured in a U-tube in right arm with height 10 cm, which contains Hg. Another liquid Y is poured in left arm with height 8 cm. Upper levels of X and Y are same. What is the density of Y?

    A) \[0.8g/cc\]          

    B) \[1.2g/cc\]

    C) \[1.4g/cc\]          

    D) \[1.6g/cc\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Its shown in figure, in the two arms of a tube pressure remains same on surface pp. Hence, \[8\times {{p}_{y}}\times g+2\times {{\rho }_{Hg}}=10\times {{\rho }_{x}}\times g\] \[8\times {{\rho }_{y}}+2\times 13.6=10\times 3.36\] \[{{\rho }_{y}}=\frac{33.6-272}{8}=0.8g/cc\]
