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`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

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

`hrho_(1)g=hrho_(2)g`
`implies rho_(1)=rho_(2)`
