@Ram Kumar

1.75 was unit power, unit speed is 20 rpm, unit discharge is 0.25.

Thank you @Saurabh Yadav.

Unit discharge = Q/(H)^(1/2).

Q = 2500 Lit. = 2.5 m^3.

Unit discharge = 2.5/(100)^(1/2) = 0.25.

In some other case answer as 1.75, Its a right or wrong?

Please explain more detail what unit discharge is?

Saurabh said:   1 decade ago
Unit discharge(Q') = Q/H^2.
So Q'= 2500/(100^2).

Therefore,
Q' = 0.25(B).
