A beaker of height 15 cm is completely filled with water. Now two-third of the liquid is taken out and an equal amount of two other immiscible liquids of specific gravities 0.8 and 1.2 are poured into the tank. What will be the pressure (in kPa) at a point situated at a height, half the height of the beaker?

(a) 588.6

(b) 637.65

(c) 735.75

(d) 833.85

I have been asked this question in final exam.

My question is from Pressure Distribution in a Fluid topic in chapter Pressure and Its Measurement of Fluid Mechanics

Right answer is (b) 637.65

For explanation I would say: PA = 0.8 * 10^3 * 9.81 * 0.05 + 1 * 10^3 * 9.81 * 0.025 = 637.65 kPa.
