Detailed Solution

According to equation of continuity, A v=constant Therefore, velocity is maximum at the narrowest part and minimum at the widest part of the pipe. According to Bernoulli's theorem for a horizontal pipe,P+12ρv2= constant Hence, when a fluid flow across a horizontal pipe of variable area of cross-section its velocity is maximum and pressure is minimum at the narrowest part and vice versa.
