Can some1 solve this question (the png link above) for me please? urgent~

Did you try to solve the problem?

If so, you should've posted what you tried first.

Did you try balancing the moments?

Clockwise moment = Anticlockwise moment

And;

Moment of a force = Force x Perpendicular distance from pivot.

It seems good to me (Smile)

Wondering my answer is correct or not...

but remember to divide it by two, because the question says on each handle.
I am just wondering if the height difference makes any changes.

I don't think so. M = F x Perp. D dosen't involve distances that are parallel to the force.
