Density and pressure

Two vertical cylindrical storage shafts, Shaft A and Shaft B, are dug into flat ground.

Shaft A has a cross-sectional area of 4.0 m² and is filled with an organic solvent of density 800 kg m^-3 to a depth of 15 m.
Shaft B has a cross-sectional area of 6.0 m² and is filled with brine of density 1200 kg m^-3 to a depth of 10 m.

Compare the hydrostatic pressure exerted by the liquid at the base of Shaft A with that at the base of Shaft B. Show your working clearly.
