Passage / Comprehension
A U-shaped tube partly filled with mercury is taken as shown in the figure. The cross-section area of the closed arm is A cm² and that of the open arm is 3A cm²; initially the mercury level in the open arm stands 76 cm higher than in the closed arm. A pin hole is now made at the top of the closed arm and the trapped gas starts leaking out. The leak rate -dP/dt is directly proportional to the pressure of the remaining gas above mercury, the proportionality constant being K s⁻¹.

What will be the decrease in level of mercury in the open arm at any time, t?
Options:
Answer:
A
Solution:
From Q27, y = x/3 with x = 114(1 - e-kt) cm, so y = 38(1 - e-kt) cm. Hence Ans (a).
