The answer is option (c)

Explanation:

Let the cross section of the pipe be =(a)m2

Let the density of water be =(ρ)kgm3

The speed of the water is =(v)ms1

The mass of water transported is

qm=(vaρ)m3s1

The kinetic energy of the water is

KE=12×(vaρ)×v2Js1

This is the power

P=12aρv3W

Therefore,

The power is proportional to v3

The answer is option (c)
