@Deepak.

In question they are asking about inlet pressure not outlet.

Pratik said:   6 years ago
Yes, as the pressure head is being converted to velocity head, the pressure reading will show higher value at the inlet than the outlet.

@Deepak.

Your statement is correct but the question asked is exactly the opposite. So the answer is B.

Francis is inward flow reaction turbine in which some part of pressure energy is converted into kinetic energy.

So at outlet pressure must be dropped.

So, the Answer is A.
