A U-tube of uniform cross section (see figure) is partially filled with a liquid I. Another liquid II which does not mix with liquid I is poured into one side. It is found that the liquid levels of the two sides of the tube are the same, while the level of liquid I has risen by 2cm. If the specific gravity of liquid I is 1.1, the specific gravity of liquid II must be

A

1.12

B

1.1

C

1.05

D

`1.0`

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
The upper level of liquid is the same in both the limbs. Pressure in limbs I at B = Pressure of limb II at A.
