Question

Which of the following statements is TRUE for the relation between discharge velocity and seepage velocity?

• A. Seepage velocity is always smaller than discharge velocity
• B. Seepage velocity can never be smaller than discharge velocity
• C. Seepage velocity is equal to the discharge velocity
• D. No relation between Seepage velocity and discharge velocity can be established

Answer 1

The correct option is B Seepage velocity can never be smaller than discharge velocity

$V_s=\frac{V}{n}$

where,
$V$ is discharge velocity
$V_s$ is seepage velocity

$n=\frac{V_V}{V}Whenn\le 1$

Hence $V_s\ge V$
