Assertion :The pressure at the bottom of two tanks of different area of cross sections are equal if they contain same liquid to same height. Reason: The pressure of a liquid is $h \times d e n s i t y o f l i q u i d \times g$ and is independent of shape and width of the container.

Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion

Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
pressure = $ρ g h$ , it is independent of area of cross section and width of the container so pressure in the two containers of same height containing same liquid would be same.
hence option (A) is correct
