Solution

The correct option is D The buggy moves to the right on its own.
As surface A and surface C on the same level so, Average pressure on surfaces A and C is the same.
As surface B is below surface A so, Pressure on surface B is greater than average pressure on surface A.
surface C is slant towards C so, Force due to hydrostatic pressure on surface C is greater than that on surface A.
The buggy could not moves to the right on its own, it needs force.
Answer (D) The buggy moves to the right on its own.
