Two identical cylindrical vessels with their bases at the same level each contain a liquid of density; $\rho$. The height of the liquid in one vessel is h₁ and that in the other vessel is h₂ $\left(h_1>h_2\right)$.The area of either base is A. The work done by gravity in equalizing the levels when the two vessels are connected is :

(1) $(h_1-h_2)g\rho$

(2) $(h_1-h_2)gA\rho$

(3) $\frac{1}{2}{(h_1-h_2)}^{2}gA\rho$

(4) $\frac{1}{4}{(h_1-h_2)}^{2}gA\rho$
