Answer Key / Explanation : (a) -

(a)

Due to acceleration towards right, there will be a pseudo force in a left direction. So the pressure will be more on rear side (Points  and ) in comparison with front side (Point  and )

Also due to height of liquid column pressure will be more at the bottom (points  and ) in comparison with top (point  and )

So overall maximum pressure will be at point  and minimum pressure will be at point
