Manometer can measure upto 200kpa i.e low pressures.

Manometers are used to measure low and moderate pressure. Mechanical gauges are used to measure high pressure.
Correct me if I am wrong.

Manometer measures major high pressure.

1. Simple monometer- high pressure.
2. Piezometer- low pressure (also called low pressure monometer).
3. u tube monometer- can measure vaccume pressure or negative pressure.

Simple Manometer is used to measures low pressure because one of its ends is open to atmosphere, if liquid pressure is higher than atm pr then high-density liquid will fall from right limb.

Piezometer for low and moderate pressure, manometer for high pressure, pressure in vacuum and pipes and barometer for atmospheric pressure.

Piezometer is used to measure moderate pressure and manometer is used to measure high pressure or pressure in pipes and channels.

Manometer is used to measure.
1) High Pressure.
2) Vaccum Pressure.
3) pressure in pipes and channel, etc.

@Gautam Sahni.
We can measure high pressure by piezometer but for this, we should have large piezometer (2 meters, 3 meters or more) to measure high pressure and it should be installed in the vertical direction so it is difficult to take a reading for us. So we don't use piezometer to measure high pressure. Mechanical gauge is used to measure high pressure.
So the answer to the above question is A&B.
I hope now it is clear.
