Ans is option A.
Flow takes place from higher energy level to lower energy level.
Head for A, 200m > head at jn, 160m
So flow from A to jn.
Head for B, 180m > head at jn, 160m
So flow from B to jn.
Head for C, 140m < head at jn, 160m
So flow from jn to C.
Hence, Q1 + Q2 = Q3.

Q1+Q2=Q3.

At junction point J velocity head will be zero so total head at J will be 160 m. The total head at A=200m and total head at B=180m and total head at C=140 m. Now you can judge flow condition from higher energy levels to lower levels.

But piezometer level only shows p/(density)g + z.
It doesn't show v^2/2g. So it's not total head then how can we make judgement without velocity head?

Option A is correct. I also agree.

Option A is correct.
Q1 takes place from 200 to J (160),
Q2 takes place from 180 to J (160),
Q3 takes place from J (160) to 140.
So Q3 = Q1 + Q2.
Q1 takes place from 200 to J (160),
Q2 takes place from 180 to J (160),
Q3 takes place from J (160) to 140.
So Q3 = Q1 + Q2.

Flow always takes place from higher energy level to the lower level.
Hence [B] is correct.
Hence [B] is correct.

No, when head at junction-less than B then how it will fill B option A?

If we take datum at bottom of tank C we conclude that tanks A, B, and C have heads 200m, 180m, 140m respectively but at junction we have some elevation head w.r.t datum and in addition piezometric head of 160m given which may be more than total heads of B, and C so water flows from A to B and C.
