Solution

The correct options are
A Area of the hole
C Density of the liquid
According to Torricelli's Theorem velocity of efflux i.e. the velocity with which the liquid flows out of a hole is equal to $\sqrt{2 g h}$ where $h$ is the depth of the hole below the liquid surface. hence the speed of water ejected does not depend on
area of the hole
density of the liquid
