Two immiscible liquids P and Q of different densities are contained in a wide U-tube as shown in Fig. 12.54. The heights of the two liquids above the horizontal line XX' which cuts the boundary between the liquids are Hp and HQ respectively. The U-tube is transported to a planet where the acceleration of free fall is 23 that on the earth, where the 3 liquids do not evaporate and where the heights of liquid (measured relative to XX' ) are hp and hQ respectively. Which of the given statements is correct?

An Intiative by Sri Chaitanya
a
The liquid levels are unchanged, i.e., hp = Hp and hQ = HQ
b
Both liquid levels rise up so that hp /Hp = hQ /HQ
c
Both liquid levels rise up so that hp - hQ = Hp -HQ
d
The liquid P falls and liquid Q rises such that hphQ=2Hp3HQ
