- Statement I is false but Statement II is true
- Both Statement I and Statement II are true
- Statement I is true but Statement II is false
- Both Statement I and Statement II are false

Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
By Pascal’s law, pressure is equally transmitted to enclosed water in all directions. Statement II directly reflects this. Statement I is also true because at a given depth (level) in a static fluid, the pressure is the same in all directions. This is due to the hydrostatic pressure which depends only on the density of the fluid and depth.
