    Consider the following statements:
    1. Boundary-layer thickness in laminar flow is greater than that of turbulent flow.
    2. Boundary-layer thickness of turbulent flow is greater than that of laminar flow.
    3. Velocity distributes uniformly in a turbulent boundary-layer.
    4. Velocity has a gradual variation in a laminar boundary layer.
    Which of the statements given above are correct?

    A) 1, 3 and 4 only  

    B) 1, 2, 3 and 4

    C) 1 and 2 only                 

    D) 2, 3 and 4, only

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Pressure inside a soap bubble, \[p=\frac{8\sigma }{d}\] \[\sigma =\frac{pd}{8}=\frac{25\times 50\times {{10}^{-3}}}{8}=0.156\,\,\text{N/m}\]
