h = flv^2 / 2gD, as for both case, all the factor is same, so the ratio for the head loss will be 1.

hl = fL(16Q^2)/2g(3.14^2)Xd^5 in terms of discharge.
for half flow it will be 8Q^2,
So, it will be 16/8 =2,
A is the correct answer.

Here 0.81/0.50 = 1.63.

Head loss per unit length is independent of sewer running full or half full condition

Head Loss per unit length is independent of sewer running in full or half full condition.

Head loss due to friction/unit length of pipe is proportional to mean velocity square V^2 and inversely proportional to diameter D of the pipe.

V = volumetric flow rate remains same.

So, head loss due to friction: ratio when flowing full/when flowing half full = 1.

C must be the correct answer.

Please explain the solution with the correct formula.
