Two divers G and H are at depths 20m and 40m, respectively below the water surface in a lake. The pressure on G is p1 while the pressure on H is P2, If the atmospheric pressure is equivalent to 10m of water, then the value of P2/P1 is?

 

A.

0.50

B.

0.60

C.

1.67

D.

2.00

Correct answer is C

Atmospheric pressure equivalence of 10m of water
: p2+10p1+10

= \frac{40+10}{20+10

 = 5030 = 1.67
