Answer:

The depth of water near middle tube is greater so the water comes out with greater pressure from middle tube and falls farther away from the base of vessel. The depth of water near lowermost tube is the greatest so the water comes out of lowermost tube with the greatest pressure and goes farthest from the vessel.
