The limbs of a $U$-tube are lowered into vessels $A$ and $B$,where vessel $A$ contains water. Some air is pumped out through the top of the tube at $C$. The liquids in the left limb (in vessel $A$) and the right limb (in vessel $B$) rise to heights of $10\, cm$ and $12\, cm$ respectively above the free surfaces of the liquids in the vessels. The density of liquid $B$ is ........ $g/cm^3$.

  • A
    $0.75$
  • B
    $0.83$
  • C
    $1.2$
  • D
    $0.25$

$A$ $U$-tube contains water and methylated spirit separated by mercury. The mercury columns in the two arms are initially in level with $10.0 \; cm$ of water in one arm and $12.5 \; cm$ of spirit in the other. If $15.0 \; cm$ of water and spirit each are further poured into the respective arms of the tube,what is the difference in the levels (in $cm$) of mercury in the two arms? (The specific gravity of spirit is $0.8$.)
