Option C is correct because " Total Pressure "(and not pressure) has been asked which means Force on Area [&pie;*r^2].

So, Total pressure = Pressure * Area.
And hence Total pressure is proportional to r^4.

A is correct because P = (density * w2 * r2)/2.

Option A is correct, w is not volume it is a specific weight which is density * s.g.

C is right.

Because, w=area * height.

Karan said:   9 years ago
Option A will be the correct answer. Because the pressure, P = π * W * w2 * r2/4g.
