  1. A compound pipe of diameter d1d2 and d3 having lengths l1l2 and l3 is to be replaced by an equivalent pipe of uniform diameter d and of the same length (l) as that of the compound pipe. The size of the equivalent pipe is given by

  2. A.

    \(\frac { l } { d^2 } = \frac { l_1 } { d_1^2 } + \frac { l_2 } { d_2^2} + \frac { l_3 } { d_3^2}\)

    B.

    \(\frac { l } { d^3 } = \frac { l_1 } { d_1^3 } + \frac { l_2 } { d_2^3} + \frac { l_3 } { d_3^3}\)

    C.

    \(\frac { l } { d^4 } = \frac { l_1 } { d_1^4} + \frac { l_2 } { d_2^4} + \frac { l_3 } { d_3^4}\)

    D.

    \(\frac { l } { d^5 } = \frac { l_1 } { d_1^5 } + \frac { l_2 } { d_2^5} + \frac { l_3 } { d_3^5}\)
