  1. If a cell A with DPD 4 bars is connected to cell B, C, D whose OP and TP are respectively 4 and 4, 10 and 5 and 7 and 3 bars, the flow of water will be
    1. A and D to B and C
    2. A to B, C and D
    3. B to A, C and D
    4. C to A, B and D
Correct Option: C

D.P.D. or suction pressure (S.P.) = O.P. – T. P.
Hence D.P.D. for A = 4 bars, B = 0 bars, C = 5 bars, D = 4 bars
We know that direction of movement of water is from lower D.P.D. (S.P.) to higher D.P.D. (S.P.). Thus flow will be from B to A, C, and D.
