Which of the following relations correctly represents the equality of hydrostatic pressures for two stationary liquid columns of densities

\rho_{1}

and

\rho_{2}

having vertical heights

h_{1}

and

h_{2}

respectively? (a)

\dfrac{\rho_{1}}{\rho_{2}}=\dfrac{h_{1}}{h_{2}}

(b)

\dfrac{\rho_{1} g h_{1}}{2}=\rho_{2} g h_{2}

(c)

\rho_{1}g h_{1}=\rho_{2}g h_{2}

(d)

\rho_{1}g h_{2}=\rho_{2}g h_{1}
