Solution

The correct option is A
v₁ = v₂.

As clear from the Torricelli's equation that speed of Efflux = $\sqrt{2 g h}$
i.e., it is independent of density of liquid contained.

Therefore both will come out with same velocity.

The correct option is A v1 = v2. As clear from the Torricelli's equation that speed of Efflux = √2gh i.e., it is independent of density of liquid contained. Therefore both will come out with same velocity.
