An open-ended U-tube of uniform cross-sectional area contains water (density 103 kg m−3). Initially the water level stands at 0.29 m from the bottom in each arm. Kerosene oil (a water-immiscible liquid) of density 800 kg m−3 is added to the left arm until its length is 0.1 m, as shown in the schematic figure. The ratio
of the heights of the liquid in the two arms is

- 15/14
- 35/33
- 7/6
- 5/4 .
Answer
(B) 35/33
