Solution

The correct option is C Equal for both tanks
Liquid pressure is given by $= ρ \times g \times h$
So, liquid pressure depends on the depth and not on the base area.
Here, both the tanks have the same depth. So, in both the tanks, the fish will feel equal pressure.

The correct option is C Equal for both tanksLiquid pressure is given by =ρ×g×h So, liquid pressure depends on the depth and not on the base area. Here, both the tanks have the same depth. So, in both the tanks, the fish will feel equal pressure.
