An open-ended U-tube of uniform cross-sectional area contains water (density $10^3 kg m ^{-3}$ ). Initially the water level stands at $0.29 m$ from the bottom in each arm. Kerosene oil (a water-immiscible liquid) of density $800 kg m ^{-3}$ is added to the left arm until its length is $0.1 m$, as shown in the schematic figure below. The ratio $\left(\frac{h_1}{h_2}\right)$ of the heights of the liquid in the two arms is-

A manometer reads the pressure of a gas in an enclosure as shown in Figure $(a)$ When a pump removes some of the gas, the manometer reads as in Figure $(b)$ The liquid used in the manometers is mercury and the atmospheric pressure is 76 cm of mercury.

$(a)$ Give the absolute and gauge pressure of the gas in the enclosure for cases $(a)$ and $(b)$, in units of cm of mercury.

$(b)$ How would the levels change in case $(b)$ if $13.6\; cm$ of water (immiscible with mercury) are poured into the right limb of the manometer ? (Ignore the small change in the volume of the gas).
