Answer is wrong viscosity of water is 0.89cp but mercury is 1.56cp.

Viscosity of water less than mercury.

Still there is confusion regarding viscosity of both fluids. I think viscosity of mercury is more than water.

Since the density of mercury is 13600 kg/cubic meter and density of water is 1000 kg/cubic meter. So mercury is more dense than the water hence its viscosity is higher than water.

Viscosity is the resistance offered by a layer to the motion of adjacent layers. More be the resistance more be the viscosity.

Viscosity is due to the adhesive force.
Lesser the adhesive force lesser will be the viscosity.
As mercury has lower adhesive force than water, so water is more viscous than mercury.
Also, by experience, we know that mercury can flow easily than water. So its viscosity is lower.
