Detailed Solution

Observe the vessels A, B, C and D shown in the figure carefully. The volume of the water taken in each vessel is as shown. The decreasing order of the pressure exerted by the fluid is PD > PB > PA > PC.
Pressure at any depth exerted because of the liquid column depends on the gravitational acceleration, density of the liquid and height of the liquid. It is known that the gravitational acceleration for all the vessels will be the same. Also, the same liquid is poured into each vessel. So depending on the height of the liquid, the order of the pressure exerted by the fluid is PD > PB > PA > PC.
