The pressure gauges 1, 2 and 3 are installed on the system as shown. If the readings of the gauges be P1 = 1 bar, P2 = 2bar and P3 = 3 bar, what will be the value of P? (Take Patm = 1.01 bar)

(a) 3.01

(b) 4.01

(c) 6.01

(d) 7.01

The question was posed to me during an interview for a job.

I'm obligated to ask this question of Pressure Distribution in a Fluid topic in division Pressure and Its Measurement of Fluid Mechanics

Correct answer is (d) 7.01

The best I can explain: PA = PAtm + P1

PB = PA + P2

PC = PB + P3

P = PC = PAtm + P1 + P2 + P3 = 1.01 + 1 + 2 + 3 = 7.01.
