Answer

less than

Work Step by Step

We know that $P_{atm}=\rho_{liquid}gh$. This equation shows that the density of fluid and acceleration due to gravity are constant and the fluid level (h) in the hydrometer is inversely proportional to the density of the fluid. When fluid 1 rises to a greater height compared to fluid 2, the density of fluid 1 is less than the density of fluid 2.
