Pick out the correct statement pertaining to venturimeter.
A venturimeter with a fixed pressure drop discharges more, when the flow is vertically downward, than when the flow is vertically upward.
The co-efficient of contraction of a venturimeter is always unity.
For a fixed pressure drop, the discharge of a gas through a venturimeter is greater, when compressibility is taken into account, than when it is neglected.
none of these.
