A fluid is in streamline flow across a horizontal pipe of variable area of cross section. For this which of the following statements is correct?
- AThe velocity is maximum at the narrowest part of the pipe and pressure is maximum at the widest part of the pipe.
- BVelocity and pressure both are maximum at the narrowest part of the pipe.
- Cvelocity and pressure both are maximum at the widest part of the pipe.
- DThe velocity is minimum at the narrowest part of the pipe and the pressure is minimum at the widest part of the pipe.

Correct answer: A
According to Bernoulli’s theorem,
= constant and Av = constant
If A is minimum, v is maximum, P is minimum.
