Answer D is correct.

Because they clearly mentioned f is Darcy's coefficient.

If they metion f' as a friction factor, then only Answer A will be correct.

Because.
f' = 4f.

D is the correct answer. I too agree.

Siraj (NMIT) said:   5 years ago
The correct one is D. 4flv^2/2gd

According to Darcys or Weisbach equation on major energy loss.

Vin said:   6 years ago
Both A and D are correct as f in both the cases known as Darcy coefficient or coefficient of friction.

And both the formula introduced by Darcy only.

Bhanu said:   6 years ago
4flv^2/2gd is the correct answer.

Kishore raj said:   6 years ago
Darcy friction factor = flv^2/2gd.
Fanning factor = 4flv^2/2gd.

Praveen tiwari said:   6 years ago
A is right because friction factor is 4times greater than the coefficient of friction and here in question coefficient of friction given so A is right.

Dharmendrasinh said:   6 years ago
I think D is the correct answer.

Salahuddin said:   6 years ago
A is the correct one.

Darcy friction factor is four times fanning friction factor.

Sameer said:   7 years ago
D is the correct option.
