Why 256 bar is wrong? Explain.

Thank you @Suresh.

The first two values given are delivery pressures at 1st and 3rd stage compressors, we have to find delivery pressure at 4th compressor.

We have p3/p2 = p4/p3 = p5/p4.
p2 = 1, p4 = 16, p5 = ?

=> p3 = (1*16)^(1%2),=> p3 = 4.
Similarly p4 = (p3*p5)^(1%2) => p5 = 64.

The delivery of forth stage = p5.

p5 = 256.

There is clearly mentioned about four stage it means;

(P2/P1)*(P3*P2)*(P4*P3)*(P5*P4)= 4*4*4*4=256.
So, the right answer is D.

Thanks all for explaining.

And P5=256.

The delivery of forth stage=p5.

p5=256.

Good explanation @Natasha.

It follows a geometric pattern.
