                Then why we use mercury as a manometric fluid?
I think the given answer is correct.

                Mercury used in manometer and it has high sufrace tention property.

                Manometer liquid should have high density and low vapour pressure.

                Why low surface tension is required? Please explain in detail.

                It should be high density and low vapour pressure.

                High density should be the correct answer.

                The right answer is High surface tension.
