Detailed Solution

The maximum force, which the bigger piston can bear,

$F = 30000 kgf = 3000 \times 9.8 N$

Area of the piston, $A = 425 {cm}^{2} = 425 \times 10^{- 4} m^{2}$

$∴ Maximum pressure on the bigger piston, p = \frac{F}{A} = \frac{300 \times 9.8}{425 \times 10^{- 4}} = 6.92 \times 10^{4} Pa$
