I agree with you @Sunny.

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.

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

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

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.

Hi.
Viscosity of Mercury is 1.526 cP.
Viscosity of water is 0.894 cP.
Viscosity of Mercury is 1.526 cP.
Viscosity of water is 0.894 cP.

Water is Viscosity are less than the mercury because mercury cohesion partial are more.

Viscosity is due to cohesive force, in case of water cohesive force is less than mercury, hence viscosity of water is less than the mercury.
