Solution
The correct option is B level in Q is greater than that of P and velocity of flow is 1.4m/s Assuming laminar flow, velocity of liquid inside P is zero as it is perpendicular to the direction of flow of liquid. Hence, liquid level in P is same as the height of the pipe AB.
For pipe Q, it is inclined against the direction of water and there is extra pressure on the bottom of Q. This causes rise in level in Q.
