Out of the following, which one is correct about the law of liquid pressure ?
- Pressure is different in all directions about a point inside the liquid.
- In a stationary liquid, pressure is different at all points on a horizontal plane.
- Inside the liquid, pressure decreases with an increase in depth from its free surface.
- It increases with an increase in the density of the liquid.

Answer
It increases with an increase in the density of the liquid.
Reason — As Pressure = hρg, so pressure is directly proportional to the density of the liquid. Hence, it increases with an increase in the density of the liquid.
