Answer:
Given:
ratio of the volume of the air bubble at the top to the bottom, V'/V = 2,
=> V' = 2V
ratio of the density of the mercury to that of the lake water, ρ'/ρ = 40/3
=> ρ' = (40/3) ρ
Now, the pressure exerted at the surface is equal to 75 cm of mercury, so here depth = 0.75 m
the pressure exerted at the bottom will be P at depth = pressure due to water column h + atmospheric pressure, here, h is the depth of the lake
so, the equation would be P' V' = P V
where P = hρg + atmospheric pressure
h is equal to 10 m

Iam thinking this is the right answer
