Detailed Solution

Given that there are two pistons—one tiny and one huge—we must determine the force that the large piston will exert. For this, we are aware that the hydraulic pressure corresponds to the force-to-area ratio. Both the hydraulic pressure for small and big pistons is written. Equating both hydraulic pressures and substituting the aforementioned numbers will allow us to determine the big piston's needed force.

Because the force is applied to the small piston  F1=20N
And the area where the force is applied by the small piston  A1=0.050m2
Water pressure is the ratio of force to the area where force is applied. 
Therefore, for small pistons, there is hydraulic pressure  P1=200.050 …. (1)
The force applied to the load by the large piston stand  F2.
And the area where the force is applied by the big piston is  A2=0.50m2
Therefore, hydraulic pressure is for large pistons  P2=F20.50 ……. (2)
Since both water pressures are equal, the balance between equations (1) and (2) is as follows.
200.05=F20.5
F2=200N
Thus, the force exerted by the large piston is 200 N.
Hence, the correct answer is option A.
