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

The Answer is B.
Discharge of centrifugal pump is directly proportional to its (dia)^2.
Q = A * V,
Here A = π * D^2/4.
Discharge of centrifugal pump is directly proportional to its (dia)^2.
Q = A * V,
Here A = π * D^2/4.

When we calculate for specific speed we take the assumption of B being proportional to Diameter. So, option C is correct.

As Q is directly proportional to B and D and B (width) is proportional to D. Therefore Q is directly proportional to D^2.

Q/{N(D^3)}=constant.
So the correct answer is Q is directly proportional to cube of the diameter(D) of the impeller.
So the correct answer is Q is directly proportional to cube of the diameter(D) of the impeller.

I think, here It should be Discharge Head.
And accordingly, option C would be correct.
And accordingly, option C would be correct.
