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

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.

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

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

Piezometer or simple type manometer can not measure high pressure head but U-tube manometer can measure high pressure heads.

Please explain the answer in detail.

Manometers are devices in which columns of a suitable liquid are used to measure the difference in pressure between two points or between a certain point and the atmosphere.
So, option B is wrong. Atmospheric pressure is measured partially but not HIGH PRESSURE AS GIVEN.
