Solution

The correct option is B False
Explanation:
The force applied perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area, over which that force is distributed, is known as pressure.
At constant force, Pressure is inversely proportional to the area.
At constant area, Pressure is directly proportional to the Force.
Hence, The given statement “For a fix force pressure varies directly as the area of cross section of the surface.” is False
