Step-by-step explanation:

According to Pascal's principles, if the area of a fluid increases, the pressure should decrease. Mathematically, it is given by :


P=(F)/(A)..........(1)

Where

F is the force acting

A is the area of cross section

It is clear from equation (1) that the pressure is inversely proportional to the area of cross section. So, if the area of a fluid increases, the pressure should decrease. The given statement is true.
