consider water drum(cylidrical shape,500mm dia X 1m)is full of water of 200ltrs.and is kept on height of 5 mtrs.Drum consists of 3 pressure guages at side of drum(bottom,middle and one at just below top) Now what is water pressure at 3 different levels and how to calculate?

Water pressure is a function of the density of water and the depth at which the gauge is located.
P = rho * depth
So, just below the surface, where depth approaches zero, the pressure seen at the top gauge will also be close to zero.
This question has thrown in a lot of useless information. Be careful as you calculate the final two pressures.

Change in pressure=density*depth*gravity
