Two copper vessels \(A\) and \(B\) have the same base area but are of different shapes. \(A\) takes twice the volume of water that \(B\) requires to fill up to a particular common height. Then the correct statement among the following is:
1. pressure on the base area of vessels \(A\) and \(B\) is the same.
2. pressure on the base area of vessels \(A\) and \(B\) is not the same.
3. both vessels \(A\) and \(B\) weigh the same.
4. vessel \(B\) weighs twice that of \(A\).

A \(U\text-\)tube with both ends open to the atmosphere is partially filled with water. Oil, which is immiscible with water, is poured into one side until it stands at a level of \(10~\text{mm}\) above the water level on the other side. Meanwhile, the water rises by \(65~\text{mm}\) from its original level (see diagram). The density of the oil is: 
                
1. \(425~\text{kg m}^{-3}\)
2. \(800~\text{kg m}^{-3}\)
3. \(928~\text{kg m}^{-3}\)
