Best answer

Right answer is (a) The eddies are not formed as the entrance to the downstream is not very big as compared to the vena contracta

Easy explanation: In venturimeter, the eddies are not formed at the entrance to the downstream is not very big as compared to the vena contracta. The throat diameter cannot be changed.
