Correct answer: B

  1. We evaluate each statement one by one.

  2. Statement A:

    Surface tension arises due to extra energy of the molecules at the interior as compared to the molecules at the surface.

    This is false.

    • Molecules at the surface have higher potential energy than molecules in the interior because surface molecules experience unbalanced cohesive forces.
    • Surface tension arises because the liquid tends to minimize its surface area due to this excess energy at the surface.

    Hence, statement A is incorrect.

  3. Statement B:

    As the temperature of liquid rises, the coefficient of viscosity increases.

    This is false.

    • For liquids, viscosity decreases with increase in temperature.
    • Reason: intermolecular cohesive forces become less effective as thermal motion increases.

    Hence, statement B is incorrect.

  4. Statement C:

    As the temperature of gas increases, the coefficient of viscosity increases.

    This is true.

    • In gases, viscosity is due to momentum transfer between layers.
    • As temperature increases, molecular speed increases, so viscosity increases.

    Hence, statement C is correct.

  5. Statement D:

    The onset of turbulence is determined by Reynold's number.

    This is true.

    • Reynolds number is Re=ρvdηRe = \frac{\rho v d}{\eta}Re=ηρvd​
    • It decides whether flow is laminar or turbulent.
    • Turbulence begins when Reynolds number exceeds a critical value.

    Hence, statement D is correct.

  6. Statement E:

    In a steady flow two stream lines never intersect.

    This is true.

    • A streamline gives the direction of velocity at each point.
    • If two streamlines intersected, the fluid particle at the intersection would have two velocity directions simultaneously, which is impossible.

    Hence, statement E is correct.

  7. Therefore, the correct statements are: C,D,EC, D, EC,D,E

  8. Matching with the options:

    • Option B: C, D, E Only

    So the correct answer is B.
