38.
Two reservoirs at different surface elevations are connected by a set of two pipes A and B of same diameter and length in parallel. If the friction factor of A is 4 times that of the pipe B, what is the ratio of the discharge in A to that in B ?

Option D is correct.
H = flQ^2/12.1d^5.
Q1/Q2 = √ f2/f1.
= 1/2 or 0.5.
H = flQ^2/12.1d^5.
Q1/Q2 = √ f2/f1.
= 1/2 or 0.5.

@Santu ans is 2 not 0.5.
f2/f1=1/2.
Q=A/V.
Q1/Q2=4 (v1/v2)^2.
Then elaborate Q1/Q2.
I.e (A1*v1)/(A2/v2)=4 (v1/V2)^then cancel v1/v2 on both sites.
We get,
Then A1/A2=4 [v1/v2].
Hence v1/v2=root of f2/f1 = 1/2.
So, the ans is A1/A2 = 4 * (1/2).
We get the ans 2. So answer c is correct.

Answer is D.
If two pipe in parallel then head loss in both the pipe will be same then 4flv^2/2gd = constant now for the two pipe l, d are same and f1/f2=4 or f2/f1=1/4 then f1v1^2=f2v2^2 then v1/v2= root of f2/f1= root of 1/4 =1/2.
Now Q1/Q2=A1v1/A2v2 =v1/v2 = 1/2 = 0.5.

Now Q1/Q2=A1v1/A2v2 =v1/v2 = 1/2 = 0.5.
