Question

An open-ended U-tube of uniform cross-sectional area contains water
$(density$ $10^{3} \,kg\, m ^{-3} )$. Initially the water level stands at $0.29 \,m$ from the bottom in each arm Kerosene oil (a water-immiscible liquid) of density $800 \,kg\, m ^{-3}$ is added to the left arm until its length is $0.1 \,m$, as shown in the schematic figure below .The ratio $\left(\frac{ h _{1}}{ h _{2}}\right)$ of the heights of the liquid in the two arms is

• A. $\frac{15}{14}$
• B. $\frac{35}{33}$
• C. $\frac{7}{6}$
• D. $\frac{5}{4}$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$\frac{35}{33}$
