4flv2/2gd is a loss of pressure head and velocity is taken.

Whereas 32vl/d2 is a pressure drop and here average velocity is calculated.

Hence the answer given is contradictory.

In q they called loss of pressure head not friction head loss. So I think answer is right.

For Laminar flow :

Loss of head = hF = [32*u*V(average)L]/r*g*d^2.

For turbulent flow:

HF = (flv^2)/(2*g*d).

Answer is right.

Loss of head = [32u*V(average)L]/r*g*d^2.

V(Average) = Average velocity.

I think answer is (velocity)2.
As change(pressure) = row*g*h.

h=flv2/2gd.
So change(pressure) directly proportional to v2.
