I think the answer is option A.

Minesh Rathore said:   8 years ago
Yes, the answer should be A.

Because hydraulic radius for pipe and square section is the same D/4. So, the ratio is 1.

Gurpreet Singh said:   8 years ago
Absolutely the answer is A.

Manjunath said:   8 years ago
Answer is 3/4 since the wetted perimeter in case of a square is 3d and not 4d.

Both hydraulic radius is not same.

Circular hydraulic radius = D/4 and
Square Hydraulic radius = 3/D.

So Ans is D.

Roy said:   8 years ago
D is the correct answer. I agree.

For circular pipe hydraulic mean depth = d/4.
For the square section of channel hydraulic mean depth=d/3.
Ratio of the circle to square= 3/4.

Sujeet said:   8 years ago
It should be 4/3.
As the hydraulic radius of circle = d/3.
Hydraulic radius of square = d/4.

Can anyone tell me how the hydraulic radius is 3/D for square?

Suns said:   8 years ago
Hydraulic radius of square is D/3.
