A wooden object floats in water kept in a beaker. The object is near a side of the beaker (figure). Let \(P_1,\) \(P_2,\) \(P_3\) be the pressures at the three points \(A, B\) and \(C\) of the bottom as shown in the figure.          
  
Then:
1. \(P_1=P_2=P_3\) 2. \(P_1<P_2<P_3\)
3. \(P_1=P_2\neq P_3\) 4. \(P_2=P_3\neq P_1\)
