Types of Flow, Reynolds Number & Continuity

An in-compressible fluid flows steadily through a horizontal cylindrical pipe. The pipe has radius ' $3R$ ' at point A and ' $1.5R$ ' at point B, further along the flow direction at the same level. If the velocity at point A is ' $v$ ', then that at point B is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

Continuity: $A_A v_A = A_B v_B \Rightarrow r_A^2 v = r_B^2 v_B$
$v_B = v\left(\dfrac{3R}{1.5R}\right)^2 = 4v$
So the answer is (d) $4v$ .
