In figure (a)

Gauge Pressure = 20 cm of Mercury

Absolute Pressure = Atmospheric Pressure + Gauge Pressure

Absolute Pressure = 76 + 20= 96 cm of Mercury

In figure (b)

Gauge Pressure = -18 cm of Mercury

Absolute Pressure = Atmospheric Pressure + Gauge Pressure

Absolute Pressure = 76 + (-18)= 58 cm of Mercury
