Hydraulic Elevator:

A hydraulic elevator is driven through the use of an electric pump to move a hydraulic jack. The large capacity of the elevator makes it suitable for transporting heavy loads.Hydraulic lifts are used in a variety of different applications. They can be found in automotive, shipping, construction, waste removal, mining, and retail industries as they're an effective means of raising and lowering people, goods, and equipment.

b) equally             
c) both  a and b

Explanation:According to Pascal’s principle, the pressure is equal to the force divided by the area on which it acts. A pressure used on a piston produces an equal increase in pressure on the second piston in the system. If the area is 10 times the first area, the force on the second piston is 10 times greater, even the pressure is the same throughout the cylinder. The hydraulic press creates this effect, based on Pascal’s principle. Pascal also discovered that the pressure at a point in a fluid at rest is the same in all directions; the pressure would be the same on all planes passing through a specific point.
