Solution

The correct option is C 1:1
The thrust due to any liquid at the bottom of the vessel is only a function of its base area.

Since, in the given figure, both the vessels have the same base area therefore, they will have an equal thrust due to liquid.

Hence, the ratio of the thrusts is equal to 1:1
