Pressure at the bottom \mathrm{ =h \rho g}. Therefore, the force exerted at the bottom is \mathrm{ F_1=h \rho g \times \pi r^2.}
Now, since the mass of the liquid can be regarded as being concentrated at its centre of mass which is at a height \mathrm{ h / 2}, the pressure on the sides \mathrm{ =\frac{h}{2} \rho g}.

Therefore, force exerted on sides is

                     \mathrm{ \begin{aligned} F_2 & =\frac{h}{2} \rho g \times 2 \pi r h . \text { Given } F_1=F_2, \text { or } \\\\ h \rho g \times \pi r^2 & =\frac{h}{2} \rho g \times 2 \pi r h \end{aligned} }

which gives \mathrm{ r=h}. Hence the correct choice is (a).
