Assertion: At depth below the water surface pressure is . Then at depth pressure will be . (Ignore density variation).
Reason: With depth pressure increases linearly.
Reason: With depth pressure increases linearly.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
If Assertion is false but the Reason is true
Option D is correct because pressure increases linearly with depth, but the total pressure is the sum of atmospheric pressure and the pressure due to the water column, so doubling the depth does not double the total pressure.

because of the buoyant force which is present due to the
pressure difference.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
Statement I is false; Statement II is true
Option D (Statement I is false; Statement II is true) is correct because a ship's floating depends on buoyant force due to water displacement, independent of atmospheric pressure, while the statement about buoyant force is correct.
