K1 = k(90/70).
K1 = K (1.2).
THEREFORE INCREASE IN K =20%.

Anybody explain it?

Tushar said:   8 years ago
K1=k(90/70)
K1=K(1.28)
The Answer should be B.

B is correct. A would be correct if vicosity is 75%.

Phani said:   7 years ago
KT/V = constant.

Well said @Deepa.

K=unit weight of water/viscosity.

Take as k1 and k2.
There is a reduction from the 1st k(k1) and reduced one is k2.
K1/k2=(Unit wt of w/vis)1 / (unit wt of w/ vis)2.
Solving we get k1=1.286k2.
For finding the percentage (k1-k2) * 100.
Ans 28.6 per cent.

B is Correct.

I think B is correct.

B is the right answer.
90/70=1.286,
Then 28.6.
