Select the WRONG statement from the following. In a streamline flow (a) velocity of a fluid at a given point is never constant. (b) velocity is smaller than critical velocity. (c) layers are always parallel. (d) the particles do not move in random direction.

Answer: (a). In streamline flow, the velocity at a given point stays constant with time, so (a) is wrong. (b), (c) and (d) are true: speed below critical velocity, parallel layers, no random motion. So the wrong statement is (a).
