We know that;
Seepage,
Q=kH(Nf/Nd)
where,
k = coefficient of permeability of the soil
H = Total head loss through the soil
Nf = number of flow channels
Nd = number of equipotential drops.
Therefore, seepage quantity is proportional to both coefficients of permeability of the soil and total head loss through the soil.

I agree with you bro @ Raja binkar.

Q = kiA.
i = h/l.
Hence,
Q directly proportional to k.
Q directly proportional to h.
i = h/l.
Hence,
Q directly proportional to k.
Q directly proportional to h.

The difference in the head only helps for the rate of seepage, So, A is correct, but how is it D?

Q = KiA.
i = (h1-h2)/L.
i = (h1-h2)/L.

Option D is the right answer. I agree.

C is correct I think.

Option D is correct we are neglect velocity in problems only.
Sandeep said:

I think the answer will be C.

@Maveen kumar. Since the velocity of water in soil is very less, we usually neglect velocity head in soil engineering problems.
