Solution

The correct option is D $F_{A} = F_{B} < F_{C}$
The height of the liquid is equal in all the containers, hence the pressure exerted at the bottom will be the same for all.

From defintion of pressure,
$Force = Pressure \times Area$
For the same pressure, the force increases as the area increases.
Given, the area of the bottom A is equal to the area of the bottom B and the area of the bottom C is greater than the area of the bottom A and B.
So the correct relation is $F_{A} = F_{B} < F_{C}$ .
