The pressure P1 at a certain depth in river water and P2 at the same depth in sea water are related as:

  1. P1 > P2
  2. P1 = P2
  3. P1 < P2
  4. P1 - P2 = atmospheric pressure

Answer

P1 < P2

Reason — As the density of sea water is more than the density of river water, hence, the pressure at a certain depth in sea water is more than that at the same depth in river water because pressure increases with the increase in density of liquid.
