The correct answer is A,
q = d.
h =d^2.
p = d^3.

Manikanta said:   7 years ago
Q = A.V.
A = π/4D2.
Q is directly proportional to d2.

It is Directly proportional to D.

Md mina, said:   7 years ago
Yes, A is correct.

Daya said:   7 years ago
I think option A is right.

Venkat said:   7 years ago
The Answer is B.

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

Shiva said:   7 years ago
As Q is directly proportional to B and D and B (width) is proportional to D. Therefore Q is directly proportional to D^2.

Suresh Shinde said:   7 years ago
Q/(N*D^3).

So, the correct answer is directly proportional to D^3.
