Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{{9}}{16}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{A}_{1} \mathrm{v}_{1}=\mathrm{A}_{2} \mathrm{v}_{2}\)

\(\frac{V_{\min }}{V_{\max }}=\frac{A_{\min }}{A_{\max }}\)

\(\frac{v_{\min }}{v_{\max }}=\left(\frac{4.8}{6.4}\right)^{2}\)

\(\frac{V_{\min }}{V_{\max }}=\frac{9}{16}\)
