The vertical limbs of a $U$ shaped tube are filled with a liquid of density $\rho$ upto a height $h$ on each side. The horizontal portion of the $U$ tube having length $2h$ contains a liquid of density $2\rho$ . The $U$ tube is moved horizontally with an accelerator $g/2$ parallel to the horizontal arm. The difference in heights in liquid levels in the two vertical limbs, at steady state will be 

  • A

    $\frac{{2h}}{7}$

  • B

    $\frac{{8h}}{7}$

  • C

    $\frac{{4h}}{7}$

  • D

    None of these
