Detailed Solution

A hydraulic lift is an arrangement used to multiply the force. When a force is applied, hydraulic Pressure is transmitted in all direction. A pressure change at any point in a confined incompressible fluid is transmitted throughout the fluid such that the same change occurs everywhere. Thus, it works on the principle of Pascal's law. 

Pressure is calculated as ,

Pressure = ForceArea or, Pressure = ThrustArea

Both are correct , but Reason is not the correct explanation for the Assertion.
