For this question you need to understand what is the specific garvity . Its the ratio of density of substance to the density of water. Since the mercury level is same level means pressure due to water is equal to pressure due to spirit. Water pressure = spirit pressure. h1 d1 g = h2 d2 g d2 = h1...

Since the mercury level is same level means pressure due to water is equal to pressure due to spirit.

Water pressure = spirit pressure.

h1 d1 g = h2 d2 g
d2 = h1 d1 / h2

10 × 1 / 12.5 = 0.8g/ cm^3

Specific gravity of spirit = 0.8 / 1 = 0.8
