A manometer contains water and a liquid X. The two liquids do not mix. The pressure at a level P in water is equal to the pressure at level P in liquid X. The density of water is 1000kg/m^3. What is the density of liquid X.

Are the measurements in your diagram actually from the question?

ya

In that case, you just need the equation $$P = \rho g h $$ . As the P is the same for both, you set the equations equal to each other. g cancels, and you have the measured heights (depths), plus the density of water. Solve for the other density.
