Solution
The correct option is C (i) B (ii) C
Due to acceleration towards right, there will be a pseudo force in a left direction. So the pressure will be more on rear side (points A and B) in comparision with front side (points D and C).
Also due to height of liquid column, pressure will be more at the bottom (points B and D) in comparision with top (points A and C). So overall maximum pressure will be maximum at point B and minimum pressure will be at C.
Hence, the correct option (c).
