Yes, option A is the right answer.

Agree @Amit.

C is correct.

V = 1/n x r^2/3 x s^1/2.
Q = AxV.
2 = pai/4x4 x 1/0.015 x 1^2/3 x s^1/2,
S = 9*10^-4 = 0.00009.

Q = (1/n) * R^(2/3) * s^.5 * d2/4.
S = .00023 ans.

@Phani.

Hydraulic mean depth for circular section is 28D for max discharge and 3D for maximum velocity then how could you take m= 1?

I think A is correct one.

According to me, A is the correct answer.

r=1/2 not 1,
Then the answer is 0.00023.

Q=A*V, here Q is given, from here we can find.
V=2/3, and we know V=1/n*R^2/3*S^1/2.
we can find R=1/2, by putting all the value we get,
S = 0.00023 so A is the correct answer.
