Detailed Solution

Concept: - The rate at which a body's velocity changes is referred to as its acceleration. i.e., Question Image

Where Question Image the velocity of the object at and the velocity of the object at

We know that if a liquid is accelerated horizontally, pressure cannot be equal at two sites in the same horizontal line. As a result, as the tanker moves forward with uniform acceleration, the liquid's free surface is inclined to the horizontal, with a greater depth towards the rear end. As a result, option 1 is right.
