Umax/U=[1+1.43F^.5].
Which is;
Turbulent = 1.2-1.25.
Laminare = 2.
b/w plates = 1.5.

V(max) = 2V(avg.)
So, Vmax/Vavg.= 2.

Why answer is 2? Can you explain this answer?

Uavg= (umax)/2 so ratio will be 2.

v/umax = 0.5.

The question is not clear where it is laminar or turbulant flow for oil in case of laminar it is 2 see Hagen–Poiseuille equation.

For some cases, it may 0.5. One thing must be clear that avg velocity is half of the max velocity and max velocity always exist at the centre of pipe.

For a fully developed laminar viscous flow through a circular pipe, the maximum velocity is equal to twice the average velocity.
Vavrg = 2 × Vmax.
Vavrg/Vmax = 2.
