Yes, the answer should be option B.

Shear is maximum at wall surface and velocity is maximum at center of pipe.

Answer should be D because shear stress is 0 at centre and maximum at surface not inside the surface.

Answer 'A' because shear stress is maxed at faces n min at center as viscous flow is nothing but laminar flow.

Stress increases linearly with distance from the centre,

i.e min at centre and max at the boundary of the pipe.

As it is a viscous liquid it offers some resistance. So, shear stress will be min. At centre and max. At surface of the pipe. So, the answer should be B. If it is non-viscous fluid then answer is correct.

The expression is given as:

Tau = del(p)/del(x) * r/2.

where r = distance from the central axis.

So the answer should be B.

Answer B is right because shear stress varies linearly from the centre of the pipe to the boundary.

It Means zero shear stress at centre & Maximum at the boundary.

Shear stress is minimum at the centre.

I think the correct answer is B.
