STATEMENT -1 : For an observer looking out through the window of a fast moving train , the nearby objects appear to move in the opposite direction to the train , while the distant objects appear to be stationary . STATEMENT - 2 : If the observer and the object are moving at velocities vec v_(1) and vec v_(2) respecttively with refrence to a laboratory frame , the velocity of the object with respect to a laboratory frame , the velocity of the object with respect to the observer is vecv_(2) - vecv(1) . (a) Statement -1 is True, statement -2 is true , statement -2 is a correct explanation for statement -1 (b) Statement 1 is True , Statement -2 is True , statement -2 is NOT a correct explanation for statement -1 (c) Statement - 1 is True , Statement -2 is False (d) Statement -1 is False, Statement -2 is True

The diagram below shows the position of two divers A and B in river water at the depth of h_1 and h_2 respectively from the water surface. The two divers were later made to dive in a sea. For the same depth, they experience more pressure in the sea compared to that in the river. Why?
