Water flows in a streamline manner through a capillary tube of radius $a$. The pressure difference is $P$ and the rate of flow is $Q$. If the radius is reduced to $\frac{a}{4}$ and the pressure is increased to $4P$,then the rate of flow becomes ................

  • A
    $4Q$
  • B
    $\frac{Q}{2}$
  • C
    $Q$
  • D
    $\frac{Q}{64}$

The rate of steady volume flow of water through a capillary tube of length $l$ and radius $r$,under a pressure difference of $p$ is $V$. This tube is connected with another tube of the same length but half the radius,in series. Then,the rate of steady volume flow through them is (The pressure difference across the combination is $p$.)
