Solution

The correct option is C Point C
The pressure exerted by liquid at the bottom of the container depends on the height of its column irrespective of their shape. Liquids exert equal pressure at the same depth. Here minimum depth of water is at point A, So the least pressure in the given containers is at point A and the maximum depth is of point C ( 20 cm), so the greatest pressure is at point C.
