Solution

The pressure inside the liquid increases when we go deeper into the liquid. The pressure at point C> pressure at point B> pressure at point A. Pressure acts in all directions and that is why it acts on the walls of the tank too. So at a point where pressure is more, the force will also be more and hence the jet speed of the water stream will also be more. Due to different speeds, the distance at which the water streams are falling will be different.
