Direction: Each of the question consist of two statements, one labeled as the ‘Statement (I)’ and the other as ‘Statement (II)’. Examine these two statements carefully and select the answer to these items using the codes given below:

Statement (I): In the operation of reciprocating pumps, slip can sometimes be negative.
Statement (II): Under conditions of high speed, long suction pipes (without cavitation) and short delivery pipes, inertia pressure can be relatively rather high, causing the delivery value to open before the discharge stroke begins.
