Pressure is inversely proportional to area
∴ Dimensions with 25 cm*10 cm gives maximum pressure and 50 cm*25 cm gives minimum pressure
∴ Dimensions with 25 cm*10 cm gives maximum pressure and 50 cm*25 cm gives minimum pressure

Hola...!!
We know that,
Pressure = Force /Area
Therefore, the force acting on a smaller area exerts a large pressure and a large area exerts smaller pressure.
So, the answer will be, on the side (25 × 10) has maximum Pressure and on the side (50 × 25) has minimum pressure.
Hope it helps..
