  1. A \(1025 \mathrm{~Pa}\)
  2. B \(512500 \mathrm{~Pa}\)
  3. C \(20000 \mathrm{~Pa}\)
  4. D \(15000 \mathrm{~Pa}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(512500 \mathrm{~Pa}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The gauge pressure at a depth of \(50 \mathrm{~m}\), \(\begin{aligned} & P=\rho g h \\ & =1025 \times 10 \times 50 \\ & =512500 \mathrm{~Pa} \end{aligned}\)
