The correct answer is (b) plug

Best explanation: Flat shutters working in grooves and regulated by screw spears are used in the case of large tanks where the quantity of water to be released is great. Special balanced valves or shutters moving on rollers are generally installed for heads over 9 m or so. A Dam stone causes obstruction to flow and is used sometimes to increase the capacity.

A large tank is filled with three liquids of densities ρ, 2ρ and 3ρ up to heights of ^h ⁄ 6, ^h ⁄ 3 and ^h ⁄ 2 respectively. What will be the ratio of the instantaneous velocity of discharge through a small opening at the base of the tank in this case to that if the container is filled with the liquid of density ρ only? (assume that the diameter of the opening is negligible compared to the height of the liquid column)
