Pressure — practice question

The diagram illustrates a U-tube manometer that contains three liquids: mercury, liquid X and liquid Y. Neither liquid X nor liquid Y is miscible with mercury. Which row compares the pressure applied by liquid X and by liquid Y to the mercury, and the density of liquid X and the density of liquid Y?

  • Apressure of X is greater than Y; density of X is greater than Y
  • Bpressure of Y is greater than X; density of Y is greater than X
  • Cpressure of X and of Y is the same; density of X is greater than Y
  • Dpressure of X and of Y is the same; density of Y is greater than X
