It is a established fact that pressure i.e ρgh will be same at a given depth. Suppose in a tank filled with water the gauge pressure works out to 1 bar, then the total pressure at the depth of tank would be 1 bar + 1 bar atmospheric pressure = 2 bar pressure.
2 bar pressure equals 2 kgf/ cm2
Question
Suppose the base of the tank is 200 cm2, can it be said that "water in tank exerts 400 kg WEIGHT on the base of tank" [i.e 200 cm2 * 2kgf/cm2]
