The correct answer should be A.

HEMANT said:   9 years ago
We know that Q = pi * d * b * vf.

So that is directly proportional to d.

Sarat said:   9 years ago
Option A is the correct answer.

Is directly proportional to the square of the diameter (refer R. K. Rajput textbook pg no. 1219).

Ashutosh said:   8 years ago
According to affinity law.

Flow or discharge is directly proportional to impeller diameter if the speed of the shaft is constant.

Patel jigar k said:   8 years ago
The correct answer is A,
q = d.
h =d^2.
p = d^3.

Manikanta said:   8 years ago
Q = A.V.
A = π/4D2.
Q is directly proportional to d2.

NabaJyoti said:   8 years ago
It is Directly proportional to D.
