Solution

The correct option is B $F_{1} > F_{2}$
Explanation:

In the above figure, $F_{1}$ and $F_{2}$ forces are pushed by water on left and right wall respectively.
Though the motion of water is in horizontally and forward direction, the pseudo force will be in opposite direction.
Hence the net force on left wall is equal to summation of $F_{1}$ and the pseudo force $m a$ where m is the mass of water. i.e
( $F_{1} + m a)$ which means that force on left wall is greater than the force on the right wall. So the answer is $F_{1} > F_{2}$ .
