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): When flow through a pipeline is measured through fixing a venturimeter, the computed flow will not be sensitive to the alignment of the centre line of the set-up – horizontal or sloping, up or down, along the flow direction.
Statement (II): The difference in the readings not he manometer limbs is by itself always adjusted for the ratio of the densities of the two liquids – the manometer liquid and the liquid whose flow rate is being measured – in the development of the formula for computing the discharge.

A Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are individually true and Statement (II) is the correct explanation of Statement (I)

B Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are individually true but Statement (II) is not the correct explanation of Statement (I)

C Statement (I) is true but Statement (II) is false

D Statement (I) is false but statement (II) is true
