Solution

The correct option is A
We know that P=hρg
Where h= height from surface of water
$ρ$ =density of liquid
g=acceleration due to gravity
Pressure inside liquid is directly proportional to height of the liquid.
Pressure inside liquid does not depend on the shape of the container.
Height of the liquid is maximum for the first container. So pressure is maximum in first container.
